AFAIK this isn't handled at all. Why do you want to do this?

A user will not (in most cases) 'mount' a disk stored filesystem which is
stored on a device or partition, for example (and it will not have the
permissions to do this). The user can 'mount' a filesystem stored in a file
(this is called a loopback device in linux).
Most users will only mount network filesystems or special purpose
filesystems.
