True, but at least this makes some effort at it. The old code did a
UDP/NFSv2 ping no matter what. This is still what happens in the absence
of these mount options.

Is there some way to pull this info out of the mount program or the
kernel so we could determine the appropriate default at runtime? That
would be the best way to do it.
