BTW, in rc4-mm1, we've nearly closed down the list from (needs an update) :

	http://wiki.openvz.org/Containers/Pidspace

NFS is still pending.

kthread is doing fine also.

But, there are some pid_t values left over like in struct ucred you
just mentioned. Any idea on how to track them down and prioritize them ?   
because we are real close to have all the prerequisites for the pid 
namespace.
