I still don't understand the reasoning here: "not to be unmounted" as in 
a permission-bound issue ("is not allowed to unmount") or a technical 
issue? For the latter: simply keep an open file on the filesystem, unmount 
will fail with -EBUSY. Or it's a matter of "because we can", as in 
"because I want to be able to disallow mounting on the filesystem level".

But then again, I did not have my coffee yet and my brain keeps asking
why, why, why? :)

Christian.
