That seems okayish.  I'm not sure we need the flags, but I do want to allow
for binary data in an option.  So perhaps something like:

	int fsconfig(int fd, unsigned int type,
		     const char *key, const void *val, size_t val_len);

for example:

	fd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_blockdev, "dev.data", "/dev/sda1", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_blockdev, "dev.journal", "/dev/sda2", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "user_xattr", NULL, ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "errors", "continue", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "data", "journal", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_security, "selinux.context", "unconfined_u:...");
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_create, NULL, NULL, 0);
	mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC);

or:

	fd = fsopen("nfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_namespace, "user", "<usernsfd>", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_namespace, "net", "<netnsfd>", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "server", "foo.com", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "root", "/bar", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "soft", NULL, ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "retry", "3", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_option, "wsize", "4096", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_uidmap, "dhowells", "1234", ...);
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_security, "selinux.context", "unconfined_u:...");
	fsconfig(fd, fsconfig_create, NULL, NULL, 0);
	mfd = fsmount(fd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_NOEXEC);

This does mean that userspace has to work harder, though, but it would
simplify the LSM interface internally.

Whilst that is true, I still need to be able to separate it out for
unconverted filesystems.
