This makes sense for a file system on disk, since it may have to be checked before remounting rw, but I don't see why this is needed for nfsroot. Also, Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt says that only nfs options can be given on the kernel nfsroot option, but I've seen a claim that you can also put "rw" here. Are other generic options possible? How about the nfs options that aren't listed in the doc? Should the doc be updated?
