    SubjectRFC: Multiple instances of kernel namespaces.
    From
    Date

    At this point I have to confess I have been working on something
    similar, to IBM's pid virtualization work. But I have what is at
    least for me a unifying concept, that makes things easier to think
    about.

    The idea is to think about things in terms of namespaces. Currently
    in the kernel we have the fs/mount namespace already implemented.

    Partly this helps on what the interface for creating a new namespace
    instance should be. 'clone(CLONE_NEW<NAMESPACE_TYPE>)', and how
    it should be managed from the kernel data structures.

    Partly thinking of things as namespaces helps me scope the problem.

    Does this sound like a sane approach?
