One example could be overlayfs.  So you might do, say:

	ufd = open("/overlay", O_PATH);
	fsfd = fsopen("overlay", 0);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "lowerdir", "/src", AT_FDCWD);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "upperdir", "upper", ufd);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "workdir", "scratch", ufd);
	mfd = fsmount(fsfd, 0, 0);
	move_mount(fsfd, "", AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);

which would allow you to specify the "sources" using dirfds.

Another possibility is could be ext4 with separate journal:

	fsfd = fsopen("ext4", 0);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "journal_path", "/dev/sda2", AT_FDCWD);
	mfd = fsmount(fsfd, 0, 0);
	move_mount(fsfd, "", AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);

And then there's bcachefs which suggests on the webpage:

	mount -t bcachefs /dev/sda1:/dev/sdb1 /mnt

but you could then do:

	fsfd = fsopen("bcachefs", 0);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "source", "/dev/sdb2", AT_FDCWD);
	mfd = fsmount(fsfd, 0, 0);
	move_mount(fsfd, "", AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);

One thing I'm not certain of is whether I should allow multiple values to the
same key name, or whether I should require that each key be labelled
differently, possibly something like:

	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD);
	fsconfig(fsfd, fsconfig_set_path, "source.1", "/dev/sdb2", AT_FDCWD);
