Sorry, not sure I understand. i915 use kern_mount() at the moment.

Since we still need to put_filesystem(), I'd probably add one more
patch
	- export put_filesystem()

so then we can put_filesystem() in i915. Wonder what would happen
if someone would do
		modprobe i915
		rmmod i916
In a loop.

So something like this (this is against current patch set).
