| Can't you just override the test() function to get what you want here?

get_sb_single() does not take a test() parameter and so I would still
need a get_sb_ref() or get_sb_special() interface right ? 

This special interface could call sget() with a custom-test function,
to get the super-block.  But in case of devpts, we already have the
super-block. So we don't need to call sget(). We just need get a reference
and remount.
