Actually... I found an issue with MNT_ASYNC in /sys/kern/vfs_syscalls.c
in the fscync() code.

Specifically, in the mount case, it doesn't wait for the write on
the mount point being covered.  I don't think this should be overridden
in the mount point covering case, actually... it seems like it can
lead to some ...problems.
