    While testing a kernel based upon ecd744ee
    
    
    (with wrong boot arguments), I got the following bad page state entry while
    NFS was trying to mount it's rootfs:

    This seems to be caused by use of an uninitialised structure due to NULL
    options being passed to nfs_validate_mount_data().  Ensure that the
    parsed mount data is always initialised.
