Eric, there is a series for this:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1533642.html

patch on top for pids:
https://github.com/legionus/linux/commit/993a2a5b9af95b0ac901ff41d32124b72ed676e3

it was reviewed, and suggestions were integrated from Andy and Al Viro
feedback, thanks. It works on Debian, Ubuntu and others, not on Fedora
due to bug with dracut+systemd.

I do not have time to work on it now, anyone can just pick them.

Thanks!
