Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/6] pidfs: implement file handle support

Hey,

Now that we have the preliminaries to lookup struct pid based on its
inode number alone we can implement file handle support.

This is based on custom export operation methods which allows pidfs to
implement permission checking and opening of pidfs file handles cleanly
without hacking around in the core file handle code too much.

This is lightly tested.

Thanks!
Christian
