So to make sure I understand....

Suppose I want to do a bind mount with the new API. Would I do something
like this?

    mfd = fsopen("???");
    write(mfd, "s /path/to/old/mount");
    write(mfd, "o bind");
    fsmount(mfd, ...);

That seems a bit klunkier than before as I now need to pay attention to
the fstype. I guess I'd have to scrape /proc/mounts for that info?
