I can split it up again, but it's not quite as independent as it seems.
There's a notification counter added to both the mount struct and the
super_block struct. This is bumped by notifications and retrieved by
fsinfo(). You need this in the event that there's an overrun and you have to
rescan the whole tree.
So to actually make use of the mount/sb notification facilities, you need
fsinfo() as well.
