I've been trying to ignore you, but I just can't any more.  Please dear
god look at my work before spewing this crap.  My work is not an LSM.
My work doesn't care about bind mounts, it cares about inodes.  My work
is not path name based.  I'm not sure who you are trying to convince of
something here but obviously talking about something you don't know
about is not working for you.....
