Here it is:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git unprivileged-mounts

I don't know what's next, this patchset has been in and out of -mm for
as long as I can remember, but it hasn't generated much interest
outside the two of us :)

I do think this is an important feature though, even if not as sexy as
some other things.

Al?  Is there any chance of this making it to 2.6.28?

Thanks,
Miklos
