and I still have questions about this code:
1. Why here kern_mount is needed?
Or the first time user space `mount -t sysfs` won't do that?
2. If root executes many mounts to mount sysfs on /sys and many other places,
are there many instances of struct vfsmount those have only
mnt_mountpoint different?
For most common case, mount a virtual filesystem(proc, sysfs, ...) on
multiple mounting point,
how to handle it more efficiently?
and where is a detailed explaination on kern_mount? could someone give
some comments or documentation pointers on this?
