But then, there are of course plenty of people who'd love to murder
kernel-based NFS root at the earliest opportunity anyway ;-)

(Besides this, I don't think we should default to DENY. You can always
do that in user space, so the best strategy is probably to preserve the
existing behaviour - least surprise principle.)
