I won't NAK this, as Pavel and Steve may feel differently, and they're
more involved with cifs these days than I am, but...

I'm not a fan of adding new option synonyms like this. They're a
maintenance burden, and they also cause confusing and conflicting usages
to be spread across the Internet in documentation, blog posts, etc.

We already have some aliased options like this in cifs, but in my
experience, it really is better to just have _one_ way to specify an
option.
