Since that is a kernel bug, not a mount bug, let me submit
a patch again. (The first time was a nice and beautiful patch
doing the option parsing for all file systems in a uniform way,
using one single routine. No reaction. The second one was a patch
correcting all of the option parsing for iso9660. No reaction.
This is the third time, with a patch correcting only this minor point.)

PS1 - I do not read the linux-kernel mailing list, and the newsgroup
is mostly dead. Cc to me if you want me to read a reaction.
PS2 - A few days ago somebody reminded me again of my promise to make
kdev_t a pointer to a device driver struct, and to handle the
transition to large device numbers. Well, I write this from
a kernel where kdev_t is a pointer and device numbers have
32 bits, but Linus does not consider this change urgent,
so as far as I am concerned this matter will sleep for half a year or so.
Edited patch below - line numbers may differ.
