I just did a global s/vps/container/ and it looks pretty reasonable, at
least from my point of view.

Couple of minor naming nitpick questions, though. Is vps/container_info
really what we want to call it? It seems to me to be the basis for a
real "container", without the _info part.

"tsk->owner_container" That makes it sound like a pointer to the "task
owner's container". How about "owning_container"? The "container
owning this task". Or, maybe just "container"?

Any particular reason for the "u32 id" in the vps_info struct as opposed
to one of the more generic types? Do we want to abstract this one in
the same way we do pid_t?

The "host" in "host_container_info" doesn't mean much to me. Though, I
guess it has some context in the UML space. Would "init_container_info"
or "root_container_info" be more descriptive?

Lastly, is this a place for krefs? I don't see a real need for a
destructor yet, but the idea is fresh in my mind.

How does the attached patch look?
