listen calls newns() internally, so changing the namespace by hand
doesn't affect it.  listen can be given alternate service directories
(see listen(8)) and will now ignore zero-length files in the service
directories, so binding /dev/null onto files in /bin/service (for
example) in /cfg/$sysname/namespace can be used to alter the set of
services offered.

The patch system is still working.  We're a bit behind processing the
queue but working on it.
