Not if mounts done by non-root are forcibly either (a) done nosuid (and
nodev) or (b) done such that all ownerships on the mounted filesystem
are overridden to the IDs of the user who did the mount (they'd still
have to have nodev forced).  And neither one is "a major redesign";
indeed, (a) could be done with existing machinery.
