I think this might just interest Jamie Lokier. He had a very similar
poposal recently, but without reference to this patch, so I guess he
wasn't aware of it.
> Referencing vfsmounts in userspace using a file descriptor:

Why not just use /proc/PID/fd/FD?

Is this needed? Userspace can find out mountpoints from /proc/mounts
(or something similar for detached trees).
> attaching mountpoints in userspace:

Again, bind from/to /proc/PID/fd/FD should work without any new
interfaces.

What's wrong with sys_umount()?

/proc or /sys should do fine for this purpose I think.
I agree, that having "floating trees" could be useful, but I don't see
the point of adding new interfaces to support it.
