Actually, you're right, we do need to add that *and* prefix it with "smack".

Yes, I'm sure it does - for the cases you're testing - but it's filesystem and
syscall dependent. None of the filesystems currently ported to the mount API
upstream override ->parse_monolithic(), but that changes with nfs, shmem and
coda and will change with cifs too.
It also changes if you use fsconfig() to supply the options because that goes
through a different LSM hook (it uses fs_context_parse_param rather than
sb_eat_lsm_opts).

I can do a fix, but testing it is a pain.
