mount.nfs currently expects mount(2) to fail with EPROTONOSUPPORT if the kernel doesn't understand the requested NFS version. Unfortunately if the requested minor is not known to the kernel it returns -EINVAL. In kernels since 3.11 this can happen in nfs4_alloc_client(), if compiled without NFS_V4_2. More generally it can happen in in nfs_validate_text_mount_data() when nfs_parse_mount_options() returns 0 because nfs_parse_version_string() didn't recognise the version. EPROTONOSUPPORT is only returned if NFSv4 support is completely compiled out. So nfs_autonegotiate needs to check for EINVAL as well as EPROTONOSUPPORT.
