Well, if you're running it as a kernel module then obviously you need root
permissions to load it. If it's running as a userland process, then
there's no reason why you can't run it as a user. mount presumably
wouldn't care as long as you had access rights to the underlying objects
(mountpoint + stacking layer process).
