Well, now that's easy to do.  With the old code (FVO "old" equal to
2.4.15-pre2) you would end up with mind-boggling amount of buffer
overruns _and_ ugly code in filesystems.

I would rather start messing with that area with cleaning up mount
options' parsers - I've got a patch that does it, it just needs to
be ported to recent trees.
