That's already available; it's called umount.
As far as the different timeouts is concerned; I will consider it, but
if it ends up being expensive data-structure wise I will drop it like
a hot potato. With a single timeout, one can just use a simple
priority queue, which is very cheap to maintain (just move 4 pointers
on each access.)
