Correct. dax=inode is the default. xfs treats that default the same whether
you specify it on the command line or not.
For ext4 Jan specifically asked that if the user specified dax=inode on the
command line that it be printed on the mount options. If you don't specify
anything then dax=inode is in effect but ext4 will not print anything.
I had the behavior the same as XFS originally but Jan wanted it this way. The
XFS behavior is IMO better and is what the new mount infrastructure gives by
default.

Yes.

These are the same behavior. But because you specified the option it was
echoed in the second output.

I could but it seems like there is a mixture of styles in that function/file...
For me it is really a toss up which is more readable. I'm inclined to keep it
since it's been reviewed multiple times. I was about to send V5 but I'll hold
off a bit. If you feel strongly about it I can change it.
Thanks for the review!
