I agree with Bernhard that btrfs is basically breaking the specification of /proc/mountinfo. Bernhard's suggestion would fix the problem. Or perhaps the inode returned in stat() could contain a field to contain the snapshot identifier along with the "base" i-node number. (I guess we know the snapshot identifiers don't exceed 255!)
