The patch for Linux 2.6.20 includes an extra check that only allows
directories to be mounted. You can find this check in super.c, the
function dazukofs_read_super().

if (!S_ISDIR(lower_root->d_inode->i_mode)) {
    err = -ENOENT;
    goto out_put;
}

If you remove this check, you should be able to mount ISO images
without a problem.
