Currently that the fscontext changes have a gaping security hole in it's
userspace API.  Granted the security hole is copied from the existing
mount api.  But I have had multiple real world problems with the
existing behavior, and I have reported it to David Howells multiple
times.

So I honestly don't think David Howells changes are ready to be merged.

The changes to proc exhibit the security holet and I expect they will
have to be redone to make the patch functional.
