I'll add it to my list of things to look at for .26.
nfs_compare_mount_options doesn't have all the data the LSM would need
but nfs_compare_super probably does.  The selinux code is not going to
change in this regard since most FS don't have such a nice 'just use a
new one' option and the LSM should make sure it isn't doing things under
the covers the user wasn't expecting.  Using this feature is not going
to clean up the necessity for that little if statement you were looking
at but I can probably make NFS and multiple lsm options play nicer
together in a future patch.
