That is unless you want fsinfo() to be useable on any fd and just fds
that are returned from the new mount-api syscalls. Maybe that wasn't
clear from my first mail.

Is the information returned for:

int fd = fsopen()/fspick();
fsinfo(fd);

int ofd = open("/", O_PATH);
fsinfo(ofd, ...);

the same if they refer to the same mount or would they differ?
