  The current plan is to return NFS4ERR_NOENT for a READDIR of the NFSv4 
  pseudo root.

That seems wrong to me.  It would imply that the root does not exist, and in
my opinion would violate the spec.  I think you want something more like
NFS4ERR_ACCESS.

Other than that, an unreadable root seems acceptable, although unfriendly.
Why not put your flat file system somewhere below the root, and make that
unreadable?
