Actually, the existing behavior is rather horrible. If you forget
to specify ro for a read-only floppy, mount will succeed, but the
kernel will keep complaining. It will also NOT let you umount the
damn thing (even with -f), until you take the floppy out and
write-enable it.  Which, sometimes, requires use of duct tape...
