LOL...  I was afraid someone would say that.  At first I used 2 flags with
fsparam_string, but then I realized Darrick suggested fsparam_enum:

	"It would be handy if we could have a single fsparam_enum for figuring
	out the dax mount options."

	-- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200403183746.GQ80283@magnolia/

So I changed it...

Darrick?
