This is exactly the point.

EOPNOTSUPP doesn't look too bad and would also be directly visible.

If really all that can be done is a note in man, where should it go to be
easily found? Perhaps mount(8) because it's a general issue. options(4)
also seems to be a good place for a second hint.

Best solution would be to both use a more descriptive error message and
notes in the man...
