Originally from: Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at>

This is the core of the read-only bind mount patch set.

Note that this does _not_ add a "ro" option directly to
the bind mount operation.  If you require such a mount,
you must first do the bind, then follow it up with a
'mount -o remount,ro' operation.
