I have no idea where this coming from as I can't find an earlier
version in the fsdevel archives.  But changing user visible mount
options through konfig options is simply bonkers.

I'd also like to not that the submitter does have a history of crazy
patches including those to support proprietary modules and then
attacking people criticizing those patches, so I can only suggest to
every maintainer to ignore them for their own sanity.
