Subject: [PATCH] addr= hint for mount program

Here's my first stab at a patch for mount to make it treat the addr=
option as a hint. I've done some very basic testing and it seems to do
the right thing, but I need to dredge up a multi-homed NFS server here
soon to verify that all is working. If anyone has one and wants to test
this out for me, I'd be appreciative :-)

The patch is a little larger than I had originally anticipated,
primarily because I had to move a chunk of code that happened before the
option parsing to after.

Since the util-linux mailing list seems to be inactive, should I just
submit this to the util-linux maintainer directly?
