struct vfsmount *kern_mount(struct file_system_type *type)
{
struct vfsmount *mnt;
mnt = vfs_kern_mount(type, SB_KERNMOUNT, type->name, NULL);
if (!IS_ERR(mnt)) {
/*
* it is a longterm mount, don't release mnt until
* we unmount before file sys is unregistered
*/
real_mount(mnt)->mnt_ns = MNT_NS_INTERNAL;
}
return mnt;
}

With the exception of fiddling with MNT_NS_INTERNAL, it seems
amenable for our needs.
