[PATCH & RFC] first attempt at making chroot nestable

[Shaya Potter]

This is a first attempt at a change that lets kernel's chroot's and wont
let you use an fd to break out of a chroot, it will only let you get as
far as the root as of when you got the fd (or possibly even less).

I've discussed the algorithm I've implemented below a couple times
already on the list, but I doubt my coding style is up to snuff, so
criticize away on that.  I also haven't had a chance to test it yet
(need to get into school to use the test machines), so all I know is
that it compiles w/o any warnings.

please comment away (as well as tell me if I did right my inline'ing the
patch, or if I should attach it, if it matters the mail client I
normally use is evolution)

thanks,

shaya
