The question would be, would it be reasonable to do that.
On initial thought, anything that is bind-mount does not really need
to be checked for ilists. That could be achieved by checking for
-xdev, but that doesn't work for the case if /home and /var are on the
same device.
This will involve rather intrusive change with very little satisfaction.
How about not bind-mounting /home ?
