Something like this (on top of the changes we've already > discussed). As badly as I want to run away screaming, I can't see a reason that this approach doesn't make sense. With no backing store there's no way the untrusted mounter can get untoward access to data, and the data isn't persistent. If there weren't already filesystem special casing in Smack I could object to that, but I've already started down that slope.
