In principle - yes. In practice that would require changes to block
device code. I've tried to minimize them, but complete solution will take
more.
BTW, problem is not new - grep for get_super() and you'll see a
_lot_ of that stuff. Multiple vfsmounts are not a problem - all of them
are in the cyclic list anchored in struct super_block, so _that_ part is
easy.
