The default should be determined by mount.nfs(8) since that's what
autofs uses to perform mounts.

There are more issues when you are using an NFSv4 global root since
there is no way for a client to know what that global root is, that
information is not present in the exports information. So, the server
must honor mounts that append the global root to the server mount path
and also those which don't.
