yes, after thinking about it, it might not be such
an issue after all, because in 95% of all cases,
this is only a problem for the host admin, and can
be prevented by simply _not_ doing that ...

that shouldn't actually happen no? if the guest
is allowed to do unmounts, then the mount can be
removed from inside, if not, then the mount has to
be part of the guest configuration, so no problem
there IMHO
