The one and only effect of register_filesystem() is making file_system_type instance visible to get_fs_type() (and making it show up in /proc/filesystems). That's it. If you want to have it looked up by name (e.g. for userland mounts), you need to register. If not, you do not need to do that. Note that kern_mount() take a pointer to struct file_system_type, not its (string) name. So all you get from registration is an extra line in /proc/filesystems. What's the point?
