I'm aware that you can fubar the kernel, like
	"cat /dev/zero > /proc/kmem"
so it is possible to crash the kernel and it can't do anything about
it. but this mount call - is there a way the kernel can reject it
instead of crashing? returning -EWHATEVER sounds like a lot better
idea to me than crashing. 

but I have no idea of the kernel internals, so this is only a stupid
user wondering... :-)
