Implementing mount_union(8) into vfs (for -o union)?

Hi, I've just been trying to mount a tmpfs over a read-only root file system. Unfortunately, this won't work just by mounting a tmpfs with option union over the root file system. You'd have to create a tmpfs, and mount that one with mount_union(8) over the root file system, which is again not poss
