Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Dynamic kmem cache allocator for pid namespaces
Add kmem_cache to pid_namespace to allocate pids from.
Since booth implementations expand the struct pid to carry
more numerical values each namespace should have separate
cache to store pids of different sizes.
Each kmem cache is names "pid_<NR>", where <NR> is the number
of numerical ids on the pid. Different namespaces with same
level of nesting will have same caches.
This patch has two FIXMEs that are to be fixed after we reach
the consensus about the struct pid itself.
The first one is that the namespace to free the pid from in
free_pid() must be taken from pid. Now the init_pid_ns is
used.
The second FIXME is about the cache allocation. When we do know
how long the object will be then we'll have to calculate this
size in create_pid_cachep. Right now the sizeof(struct pid)
value is used.
