I also submitted some patches to prevent multiple mounts when doing "mount -a",
and I'm pretty sure I send-pr'ed them. (my opinion was that if you wanted to
mount something twice, you should be able to, although I didn't see a reason
why you would. I was just concerned with not getting duplicate mounts when
using mount -a).
I'm not saying my patches are better than yours, of course ... I'm just saying
that I'm pretty sure some are already in the queue.
