Subject: [RFC][PATCH  4/15] Add config options for union mount

From: Jan Blunck <j.blunck@...harburg.de>
Subject: Add config options for union mount

Introduces two new config options for union mount:

CONFIG_UNION_MOUNT - Enables union mount
CONFIG_UNION_MOUNT_DEBUG - Enables debugging support for union mount.

Also adds debugging routines.

FIXME: this needs some work. printk'ing isn't the right method for getting
good debugging output.
