https://lwn.net/Articles/1062163/ (https://lwn.net/Articles/1062163/) Practical uses for a null filesystem
It seams interesting also for containers... someone even commented "Another useful functionality is to mount nullfs over critical paths to mask such as /boot, /proc/sys/kernel"
or maybe for TC boot parameter "noembed", when rootfs is tar-ed and pivoted... maybe we could recover that 10% RAM reserved for tar...
