I don't think they can live together. I think we should do smth like a
following in mount options parsing:

...
if (opt == fscache) {
   vol->fscahe = 1;
   vol->strictcache = 0;
}
...
if (opt == strictcache) {
  vol->strictcache = 1;
  vol->fscache = 0;
}

So, if user specify both only the last will affect the client
behavior. Also we should add this information into cifs manpage.
Thoughts?
