Hell, NO.

The primary effect of that thing is *NOT* to create a superblock.  It
might be a side effect, and quite often it will happen, but the
real goal here is a mountable tree.  Which might or might not reside
on a new superblock.  And which might very well involve no object
creation whatsoever.

This name is actively misleading and the same goes for its relatives
(vfs_create_super(), etc.).  It's "give me a tree to mount", not
"create something or other".
