What about existing mounts that are underneat the new mount point,
such as:

    /
    /new
    /new/tmp

and I do pivot_root("/new","/new/old") ... will /new/tmp also be
correctly seen as /tmp from then on?

I think I can do what I want easy enough if I can set up the desired tree
completely before doing the pivot_root() call.
