Makeing mount priveledged is a kludge.

Is this a production environment patch?  If so, I'll let the discussion
go... otherwise, the mount code needs changed.  Specifically, the
mapping into the hierarchy and the NFS export management should be
in the upper level code instead of per VFS.  There's not really any
conceptual difference between root and non-root mounts, once the
greation of a mount struct instance is abstracted from it's mapping
into the FS hierarchy by moving the latter into common code.
