I think we still need MOPT_SKIP...
This was put in to skip these options when printing to deal with printing only
dax=inode when it was specified by the user.
Ah but I see now. By taking MOPT_SET away you have created the same behavior?
This is orthogonal to the remount issue right?

Even if MOPT_SET is redundant. Why don't we need still need MOPT_EXT4_ONLY?
And why don't we need to associate the defines; EXT4_MOUNT_DAX_ALWAYS etc?

I think this is cleaner!
Thanks, I did test this but not while trying to manipulate files as the same time
as a remount. So a race would not have been caught.
Thanks!
