I'm not opposed to your vfs_mount.c change since it is quite reasonable.
It's just that in the mount code in FreeBSD, over the years, a lot
of behavior has been built on unreasonable API's, so changing things
exposes weird bugs. :) 

mount_ntfs should probably be converted to properly use nmount()
like mount_msdosfs.  The nmount() call path in the ntfs file system
code should probably be fixed up too.

I don't have any NTFS partitions on my FreeBSD system.  Does someone
have a small NTFS disk image that they can send me so I can implement
some of these changes and practise mounting?
