I'm working on a patch to get the get_best_mounts function (in modules/mount_nfs.c) work a little better and handle a few end cases.

What was the skiplocal variable intended to do?

It seems that if it is not 0, the only thing that get_best_mount does is check and see if the 'what' string is null & if it isn't return 0. And the only time the get_best_mounts function is called with skiplocal set to 1. is when it is calling itself when all the hosts have not responded within 100ms.

Is it reasonable to completely remove this variable?
