A lot of these could be fixed all at once by letting the filesystem tell
the VFS to retain the string passed to the original mount.  That will
solve *almost* all filesystems which take string options.

On the other hand, maybe it's cleaner to present a canonical view of the
options.  Note that /etc/mtab does not, however.
