Ugh, this is why comments are important, I can't remember either. I suspect I implemented a dedicated filesystem to kinda sorta show that we could allow userspace to provide the mount point with e.g. NUMA hints[*]. But my preference would be to not support a userspace provided mount and instead implement fbind() to let userspace control NUMA and whatnot.
