All,

We've been gathering and porting patches related to namespaces in
a lxc patchset for a while now. Mostly working on the network
namespace which will require some extra work to be usable. 

 * It's available here :

	http://www.sr71.net/patches/2.6.20/2.6.20-rc4-mm1-lxc2/

* Caveats :

  namespace syscalls are still under construction.

  network namespace is broken : 

  . the nsproxy backpointer in net_ns is flaky. 
  . the push_net_ns() and pop_net_ns() can be called under 
    irq and are using current. this seems inappropriate.
  . there is a race on ->nsproxy between push_net_ns() and 
    exit_task_namespaces()
  . does not compile with CONFIG_NET_NS=n

  pid namespace is still under construction.
  
  ro bind mounts should be pushed soon

thanks, 

C.
