There are whole raft of options I'd love to deprecate:

* bsddf/minixdf
* grpid/bsdgroups/nogrpiid/sysvgroups

I also wonder whether it's time that we just enable acls and xattrs
all the time, instead of making them be explicit mount options.

So anyone wants to send me a patch, feel free....  (or I may get to it
maybe this weekend.)
