SunOS 4.1 adds a new version of the MOUNT protocol (version 2) that
includes a procedure to provide POSIX pathconf support.  The SunOS 4.1
mount command was modified to try a bind to version 2 followed by a
fallback to version 1 if version 2 is not supported.

The patch description is NOT correct.  The new mount logic works correctly
for almost all non-Sun implementations of NFS except for Silicon Graphics
and Prime.
