Yes, I acknowledge I started this work and did not finish.
I have some pending patches to fully convert mount_nfs to
pass nmount() string args to the kernel, but I am in the middle
of moving, so do not have time to do a lot of FreeBSD work until the end of
next week, when I move into my new house.
Additionally, touching the NFS mount code is quite involved,
so once I am ready to get back to FreeBSD work, I want to circulate
the patches a bit more for feedback and testing before committing.

The mount_nfs hack is the main one that I saw. Can you revert
that plus the vfs_mount.c change until we have time to do this right?
Some other people already mentioned possible implications
of your change to NFS + bootp, which you didn't test.
Thanks.
