The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails. The attached patch does just that.

Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

Finally, for the record: I still feel very uncomfortable about not being
able to report the state of the client setup back to the sysadmin.
AFAIK, the only way to do so is to stat the mountpoints, and compare the
device ids.
