isofs in 2.3.x (for suitable values of x, certainly >=15) has a
session= parameter that you should be able to pass in via mount.
What would be even more interesting is for cdrom block devices to make
multiple sessions appear as partitions -- assuming people don't ever put
_real_ partition tables on CD-ROMs, of course.
