Right. The only thing I have found that needs to be changed so
far in this area is specifying which loopback device I want
to replace it with.
If you do it that way, you should need absolutely no changes to
the other code in this area.
As per Herbert, I think he works on Xen rather than vserver :-)
Perhaps you're thinking of Alexey Kuznetsov or another one of the
vserver guys.
I think you are thinking of a different Herbert. I was thinking of
Herbert Poetzl the vserver maintainer. Alexey works on OpenVZ.
Until we get the basic architecture merged they are rival projects.
