| 'pspace' sounds wrong when you know about the other namespaces :

| 	atomic_t count;
| 	spinlock_t nslock;
| 	struct uts_namespace *uts_ns;
| 	struct ipc_namespace *ipc_ns;
| 	struct user_namespace *user_ns;
| 	struct namespace *namespace;
| };

| 'proc_namespace' might be confusing, what about 'task_namespace' ?

I agree we should rename.  I had suggested pid_space to "rhyme" wiht
pidmap, but received no ack/nack. I meant to send another mail,
specially after the is_init() collision recently.

While at it, should we change CLONE_NEWNS to CLONE_MNTNS ?
