In the long-term, explicit references to proc0, prison0, thread0, filedesc0, 
... all make me rather nervous.  I'd rather that all these things were linked 
to either the credentials of the file system mount, the user thread, or 
perhaps gssd in some cases.  From the perspective if virtualization, the file 
system mount credential seems the most likely candidate.
