From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> Add a new mount flag "nomnt", which denies submounts for the owner. This would be useful, if we want to support traditional /etc/fstab based user mounts. In this case mount(8) would still have to be suid-root, to check the mountpoint against the user/users flag in /etc/fstab, but /etc/mtab would no longer be mandatory for storing the actual owner of the mount.
