Have you tried using this feature on -CURRENT? When I committed it,
the original submitter (Wojciech, CC'd) said that my change didn't
work for him because it is disabled in compat mode (when mdmfs is
called as mount_mfs). I agree that this is a problem since the name
"mount_md" no longer works, although I didn't realize that at the
time.

Since it seems that a lot of people are asking for this, a reasonable
interim solution is to allow just this option in compat mode, although
figuring out what to do about the other non-compat-only options would
be a better long term solution. Wojciech, would a change that removes
the compat mode test for this option be acceptable for you too?
