I don't like the idea of userspace getting a handle directly to the
lower mount. All activity of the registered process would go unnoticed
by DazukoFS. This may even cause problems because the atime's could
become out of sync.

I'm not certain how safe it is for any processes to be playing with
files underneath DazukoFS while DazukoFS is mounted.
