[PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxy
This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will
move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname
namespace into the nsproxy.
The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part
by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each
contained in the nsproxy.
