Re: [PATCH 8/8] net: Implement socketat.

One thing still confuses me...
The app control point is in namespace0. I still want to be able to
"boot" namespaces first and maybe a few seconds later do a socketat()...
and create devices, tcp sockets etc. I suspect create_ns(namespace-name)
would involve:
     * open /proc/self/ns/net (namespace-name)
     * unshare the netns
Is this correct?

Almost.

create should be:
        * verify namespace-name is not already in use
        * mkdir -p /var/run/netns/<namespace-name>
	* unshare the netns
        * mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /var/run/netns/<namespace-name>

Are you talking about an replacing something that used to use the linux
vrf patches that are floating around?
