questions about nmount and nfs

Hey all (and Craig and Doug),

There's some patches floating around for NFS performance, I also
have a few trivial ones myself for this, there's also a few
nfs globals that I'd like to make per-mount...

How is nfs and nmount working these days?  Should I try to
use nmount to control various tunables?  Or should I make
a sysctl tree per-mount and have users do that?

I'd _really_ like to be able to see the mount options via
just running "mount" like so:

/usr/src/sbin/mount % mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/ad0s1d on /usr (ufs, local)
mac:/Users/parallels on /vol/mac (nfs,nofsyncclose,negativecache=200)

Note: nofsyncclose and negativecache=200 are two options I want to 
add.

What do you guys think?  Is nmount up for this?  Any pointers to
using nmount?  Or should I sysctl?
