The new helper mount_super_once allows that.
This is where I stopped reading this patch series.
No.
We want to get *rid* of the idiotic "primary instance" crap.
The whole and only point of doing the "which pts filesystem am I associated with" for ptmx is to stop the idiotic "one devpts is pecial".
I don't want to see 16 random patches.
I want to see *one* patch that makes /dev/ptmx look up the pts filesystem, and be done with it.
Plonk.
