This seems incorrect to me.  You have also removed the warnings associated 
with trying to use multi-label and ACL-enabled file systems on kernels not 
configured to support them, which can lead to highly undesirable behavior, 
hence the warnings.  The mount point flags are intended to reflect the current 
mode of operation, and setting the flags when the operational mode isn't 
supported doesn't seem right.
