v4 -> v5:


 - fold back Andrew's changes

 - fold back my update patch:

    o use fsuid instead of ruid

    o allow forced unpriv. unmounts for "safe" filesystems

    o allow mounting over special files, but not over symlinks

    o set nosuid and nodev based on lack of specific capability

 - patch header updates

 - new patch: on propagation inherit owner from parent

 - new patch: add "no submounts" mount flag


The last two patches are up for discussion.


The rest I think is in pretty good shape for merging.  If somebody

feels otherwise, please complain now.
