Sorry for late reply on this...

I wonder if we should make this conditional on the "-s" (sloppy)
option? I think autofs will use that option when it mounts. There are a
couple of ways we could approach this:

1) have -s set a mount flag (which means getting a new MS_SLOPPY flag
added to the VFS).

2) have -s make mount.nfs prepend an implicit "sloppy," to the option
string. That would get parsed first and you could make the behavior of
unrecognized mount options be dependent upon that.

#2 sounds fairly easy to do, actually...
