Retro-actively: I do not suggest that.
I tried to answer this question in my reply to Eric correcting me. Eric
was right to correct me. I now understand the comment above
do_remount() is incorrect. I re-reviewed your diff in light of that. I
re-endorse your diff as a way to solve the problem I raised.
(I think it would be useful to remove the misleading comment above
do_remount(), to avoid future confusion.)

( the "if" statement it adds to fspick() is equivalent to the second
"if" statement in do_remount(): )
