Basically, what I want is for automountd to ignore or even, and
preferably, not to attempt to use the MOUNT protocol when NFSv4 would
be used for a given -hosts map mount.

Additionally and _separately_, I think mirror mounts should always work
when: a) NFSv4 is used (of course), and b) there is no automount entry
that would conflict, and therefore, override a server-side mountpoint.

To sum up all of the above in one nice package:

    Automount entries override server-side mount-points in the same
    locations in the fs hierarchy, and ONLY such server-side
    mount-points.
