Please file bugs against util-linux regarding issues like this. mount has been modified to store the meta information it needs on top of what the kernel stores anway in /dev/.mount/. If there's something missing then please report this on bugzilla, not on LWN. Thanks!

It should be under /run/mount along with utab, surely? We moved all use of dotfiles in /dev to /run; is this an exception which needs addressing?
