Somewhere along the way I broke NFSv4 mounts being able to be mounted
without the use of rpcbind.

I require the option fstype=nfs4 for this and if given the map entry
should be mountable without recall to any other services beside NFS.

So that option shouldn't be masked out since it allows automount
to identify (or should) this case.
