That looks very ad-hoc. Quite frankly, you can do the exact same thing
already by simply blacklisting the rpcsec+AF8-gss+AF8-krb5 and/or auth+AF8-rpcgss
modules.

I think we should rather looks at adding a new mount option for
specifying the security flavour to use when establishing basic NFSv4.x
state, and then perhaps specifying the +AF8-default+AF8- for that mount option
using a module parameter.
