Sigh.  and NFS is also a nodev fs.  So with the kernel as it currently
stands, it is impossible to hide internal-use-only filesystems.

I suppose the only way to hide them is to have the kernel somehow 
flag internal-use-only filesystems with some kind of magic marker
that will allow them to be filtered out in get_filesystem_info().

I just tried to find where the internal-use-only filesystems are 
being mounted but I couldn't find it.  Any ideas?
