I can totally relate to that. I added the fourth patch more as a
"let's see if this can also fit into the current framework".

No, if we'd want to watch changes on super blocks, then we'd need to
iterate all the mounts of the superblock and notify each.
I'm not sure if it's something we really want, watching the super
block itself for changes sounds saner.
