Hello lists,

Trying to be compatible with upstream ZFS, we wish to cause snapshots to be
mounted automatically on access (usually triggered in vnop_lookup). But I
seem unable to cause mounts to happen from within the kernel.

mount and __mac_mount has opaque structs and possibly deal only with copyin
from userspace.

NFS uses kernel_mount() but it is not available (inlined due to only one
caller?) - Possibly I could call  mount_list_add() myself, but "struct
mount" is also opaque. Seems to be a lot of hoops for such a basic feature.

Is there no way to cause a mount to happen from the kernel?
