In testing this today, I found a problem. I tried to mount up a share
with sec=none as the options. With that, I got this error:

    CIFS: Unknown mount option pass=

The problem is that the mount.cifs helper will pass a blank "pass="
option to the kernel. It seems like the standard option parser doesn't
have a way to allow you to specify an optional argument. That may need
to be added in order for this to work.
