(Comment is taken from Sukadev's patchset-v3)

A pid namespace is a "view" of a particular set of tasks on the system.
They work in a similar way to filesystem namespaces. A file (or a process)
can be accessed in multiple namespaces, but it may have a different name
in each. In a filesystem, this name might be /etc/passwd in one namespace,
but /chroot/etc/passwd in another.

For processes, a process may have pid 1234 in one namespace, but be pid 1
in another. This allows new pid namespaces to have basically arbitrary
pids, and not have to worry about what pids exist in other namespaces.
This is essential for checkpoint/restart where a restarted process's pid
might collide with an existing process on the system's pid.

In this particular implementation, pid namespaces have a parent-child
relationship, just like processes. A process in a pid namespace may see
all of the processes in the same namespace, as well as all of the processes
in all of the namespaces which are children of its namespace. Processes may
not, however, see others which are in their parent's namespace, but not in
their own. The same goes for sibling namespaces.

This set is based on my patches, I sent before, but it includes some comments
and patches that I received from Sukadev. Sukadev, please, add your Acked-by,
Signed-off-by or From, to patches you want (everybody is also welcome :) ).

The set is based on 2.6.23-rc1-mm1, which already has some preparation patches
for pid namespaces. After the review and fixing all the comments, this set
will be benchmarked and sent to Andrew for inclusion in -mm tree.
