By killing altroot-related code in fs/namei.c, which is what I'm going to
do _anyway_. If somebody really needs a working replacement, I would
very much suggest starting with figuring out the desired semantics; frankly,
I suspect that having native wrapper for their ld.so might be much better
idea as far as the location of libraries is concerned, with chroot and
bindings doing the rest.
