No it is not a long term solution. Long term solution will be to push under 
fuse these filesystem. This a (short term)/(medium term band aid) solution.

I agree with you about disabling these modules

linux uml work on i386/amd64/ppc (by memory) so it could help for some 
filesystem particularly hfs

I do not understand why uml is not part of main kernel build maybe it is time 
to get it.

The plan could be:
- build uml along the main kernel (if possible)
- try to get merged old mountlo kernel support
- push to uml only these insecure filesystem
- long term try to push these to pure userspace or drop

What do you think ?
