Doh.  But yeah, mount path should be switched over soon.  I alredy
posted the patches to kill the xfs_mount_args gunk which have been on
the list for a while and happily ignored, and switching to the parser.h
helper ontop of that is quite easy.  I just want to wait a little bit
so that any problems with the previous patch are shaked out before the
new one gets added.
