9p support isn't mine - Roman is doing it and looks like his stuff works
against u9fs these days.
Namespaces... Well, see previous posting. I have no contacts with
the Progeny guys, and as the matter of fact I had not seen anything from
them. Neither on fsdevel nor on l-k. Hell knows, they may be for real -
there's not much work left, so I certainly would not be surprised to see
such patches. However, they will have to do an accurate work with changing
->readdir(). And since we are in <cough> code freeze, such a change is not
likely to go into 2.4.0-release. It certainly will go into VFS-CURRENT.
