mount /dev/sda1 /A -o private,unbindable,ro this is supported by mount(8), but it's implemented by three independent mount(2) calls - 1st mounts /dev/sda1 with MS_RDONLY - 2nd sets MS_PRIVATE flag - 3rd sets MS_UNBINDABLE flag. it would be nice set all the VFS flags and then as atomic operation attach the context to the tree.

ce to have something like fsmount(mfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", 0); write(mfd, "o"); read(mfd, ); // read mount options write(mdf, "i"); read(mfd, ); // read mount ID but it seems ugly.
