Btrfs lets you mount the filesystem multiple times, e.g. with a
different subvolume id, so you can mount part of the filesystem somewhere.

Some of the mount options (many btrfs specific ones, like space_cache*,
autodefrag etc) get a value when doing the first mount, and subsequent
ones cannot change them any more, because they're filesystem wide behavior.

Some others can be changed on each individual mount (like the atime
options), and when omitting them you get the non-optimal default again.
