What is worse, and I don't see a way around it: Is that we don't have
any callbacks to check where things are mounted.  So we can't ensure the
proper kind of filesystem is mounted in the right place.

That is there is too much freedom in the mount apis to allow for reliable
operation.

Sort of.  I'm really annoyed with whoever did the posix mqueue support.
Adding the magic syscall that has to know the internal mount instead of
requiring the thing be mounted somewhere and just rejecting filedescriptors
for the wrong sorts of files.
