It sure would be nice if one could mount an ISO-image (vnode-backed md)
RW. This would come in handy if one wanted to modify the image for some
reason and then burn it or, e.g. brandelf some binaries in a Linux ISO
which are needed for installation. At the moment you have to copy it
to a new location.
