Subject: Re: [PATCH RFC v3 2/2] pidns: introduce syscall getvpid

Two minor things.

Can we please call this translate_pid? getvpid does not really cover
what this syscall does.

Can you please split wiring up into a separate patch?  You goofed it
up this round and it just adds noise in reviewing the core syscall.
