Because the current scheme is based on the the client getting the original
file handle (with the device information et al.) from mountd.
Obviously, if you just cross a mount point on the server, the client
doesn't actually mount the subvolume.

... or so it seems to me, but then I am not _that_ familiar with the
innards of the NFS code, client or server.
