The manpage says: ip=arg sets the destination IP address. This option is set automatically if the server name portion of the requested UNC name can be resolved so rarely needs to be specified by the user. ...but recent changes have made it not work anymore as an override if someone specifies an ip= option as part of the mount options. Reinstate that behavior by copying the ip= option verbatim into the addrlist of the parsed options struct and then skipping the name resolution. That should allow the ip= option to pass unadulterated to the kernel.
