Most of the bits just need a bit of refinement I think, instead of
being forced through the overlayfs tree and are generally fine.

The pre_mmap hook I think is a clear no-go. We've had this tried
multiple times and always rejected it. Unlike previous uses the
overlayfs use isn't outright broken, but still questionalable
as it will still lead to a copyup that "leaks" if the actual mmap
wasn't successfull. The whole discussion of how mmap happens,
how we deal with mmap_sem and failures needs a broader discussion
with all MM and VFS folks first.
