Okay, I've got that pulled up to Linus's head branch.  I've mostly got the RCU
pathwalk and managed dentry stuff correctly entangled.

However, I have a few questions:

 (1) Is it meant to be possible to unionmount over a mount tree rather than
     just a single mount?  I ask because do_lookup_union() calls
     __follow_mount().

 (2) When you open a file that exists in the lower layer but not the top
     layer, am I right in thinking that f_path points to the lower layer file?

 (3) If I'm correct in (2), I presume something must intercept fchown() and
     suchlike?

 (4) I presume IS_DIR_UNIONED() only gives true on the upper layer (the one
     that was mounted -o union)?
