Looks good, and actually works. And I like that I can now do:

mount -t ubifs /dev/ubi_whatever_name /mnt/ubifs

And when your user-space changes hit distros, I will not have to
even specify -t ubifs.

I'm not entirely sure vs the 'kern_path()' usage though. Could you
please post your patch to these lists as well:

linux-fsdevel at vger.kernel.org
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org

I'll push your patches to the ubi-2.6.git now, but I would not want to
make these changes sneak into mainline without being sent to lkml, just
because I'm not entirely sure about the 'kern_path()'. But for me this
looks ok.

Thanks!
