Argh! You are right. I was totally convinced that this works. But it
clearly doesn't if you specify 1 legit mount option. I wanted to make
it work for both cases (1) and (2) above. But then this check will
have to be changed :(
Sorry about the back and forth. I am just going to make it return
EINVAL if __DEVEL_sane_behavior is not specified as suggested in the
beginning.
