Are the semantics already set?

One, please avoid BUG_ONs. Now I am not sure if clone_mnt is called
as part of kthread creation when CLONE_FS is it. If so, get rid of
this one real fast. Also see chunk "@@ -1031,.. @@ do_loopback"
below.

	if(mnt->mnt_flags & MNT_UNION)
		goto return_einval;

or something.

Is it feasible to do with with some less #if/#endif magic?:

Do the same in clone_mnt.

This raises a big eyebrow. If linux/fs.h can compile without the
inclusion of linux/union.h, do not put linux/union.h in fs.h.

You do not need that #include I suppose. Just predeclare the structs.

	struct path;
	struct vfsmount;
	extern void ...

Saves us the "compiler slurps in so many .h files" problem.
