I don't agree with the idea that this is introduced as a new filesystem
type. I'm sorry, but "isolinux" is not a filesystem type, it's a
bootloader.

Instead, if you want to support ISO9660 images that use isolinux as the
bootloader instead of Grub (as is currently supported in fs/iso9660),
then you should expand fs/iso9660/ to support either Grub or isolinux
as the bootloader. Probably with a Config.in "choice" in
fs/iso9660/Config.in.

This way, all your improvements such as offering options for Joliet,
Rock Ridge support and so on will also benefit to the existing iso9660
support.

Best regards,

Thomas
