So I took a stab at implementing this. To figure out whether or not a
remount is required, I had to start parsing all options specified in
the right order, which turned out to be non-trivial given that many
options are boolean singletons (e.g. ro/rw) thus I quite trivially end
up remounting things way too many times then needed.

However coming to think about it again, I wonder if a simple "if
already mounted and the mounts are specified in /etc/fstab assume a
remount is required" should suffice all cases. I'll try again to
implement that.
