what do you mean with "like ext2"?
# mount localhost:/mnt/store /mnt/test
strace output:
stat("/sbin/mount.nfs", 0x7fff27169340) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mount("localhost:/mnt/store", "/mnt/test", "nfs", MS_MGC_VAL, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

it explicitly uses filesystemtype="nfs" and the data=NULL.

It's really kernel job to check incoming data. I don't think we have
to hardcode any NFS specific check to every util where is mount(2)
syscall.

Why? I don't see a problem, my 2.6.20 kernel returns EINVAL. Isn't it right?
