Great, thanks! I see you now chose to add a jail option, certainly the
cleanest solution.

Will test later today. Just to make sure I have the correct expectation
about the behavior with the new patch applied:

* Unprivileged user will get ENOTSUP when trying to access the system
  namespace (regardless of the new jail setting), so GNU tools like e.g.
  coreutils install should "just work".
* Root will get either ENOTSUP, or a fully working access to system.*
  with the new jail setting enabled.

Are these assumptions correct?

Cheers, Felix
