So you'd like to see 2 syscalls:
fmount(dev, dst, type, flags, data) ftransmount(src, dst, flags) (bind + move)
About the flag splitting: you mean per-mountpoint and per-superblock flags? Does the user care? The user may not even know which flag is which. E.g. currently MS_NOATIME and MS_RDONLY are superblock flags, but in the future they may become mountpoint flags.
Thanks for your comments!
