The XFS-compatible project quota is effectively a subtree quota
system.  My argument is that if we're going to try to get something
like this upstream, it should have the same properties as the XFS
project quota system; and that should be semantically compatible with
the patches you are using.

(If we end up using the same ioctl's as xfs_quota uses, which in
theory I'm in favor of, but which I haven't studied yet, then it might
not be ABI compatible with Dmitry's patches, but it should simplify
the patches that OpenVZ would need to carry.)
