[RFC] Supporting namespaces in the connector driver

Hi,

I have spent some time looking at the cn_proc monitor capabilities
which use the connector driver for monitoring processes.

Currently the cn_proc (and all other modules which are using the connector)
only works on the main init_user_ns namespace.
If I am working inside a docker container (as an example), I won't be able to monitor process
creation, for example fork()/exec() etc ...

Of course I will be able to monitor any process from the host namespace (init_user_ns)
but I would like also to be able to monitor the processes that belong to the same
docker container, (belong to the same namespace)

I wonder if there is a plan to add pernet support for the connector?
If you think it there is a good reason to add that? (I can provide a few patches that do that)

I will be happy to work on to add a support for that, and actually I have started to
do some modification to make it works. and still testing it.

Thanks
