Definitely.

One of the lessons from the people doing monitoring is that it really
is best done through a filesystem interface.  You don't have
to have it mounted and there are times you don't want to be able
to mount a view into another namespace but having the option is nice.

I'm torn because the more I look at the way posix message queues are
implemented the more it looks like new versions of sys_open and
sys_unlink should never have been written and it should have been a
user space convention to always mount mqueuefs on /dev/mqueue.

Just doing newinstance and having a pointer in nsproxy will get the
job done, but it feels like we may have the opportunity to correct a
blunder in the initial implementation.
