This flag tells the .get_sb callback that this is a kern_mount() call

Running a few steps forward - this will be needed for proc to create the
superblock and store a valid pid namespace on it during the namespace
creation. The reason, why the namespace cannot live without proc mount
is described in the appropriate patch.
I don't like this at all. We should never pass kernel and userspace
addresses through the same pointer. Maybe add an additional argument
to the get_sb prototype instead. But this whole idea of mounting /proc
from kernelspace sounds like a really bad idea to me. /proc should
never be mounted from the kernel but always normally from userspace.
Why then is it mounted in proc_root_init()?
Thanks,
