[OpenAFS] AFS in a solaris 10 zone? How about Linux/Xen VM?

The couple "caveats" i've found with running AFS in the global zone...
	
	1) UID-associated tokens are associated across all zones (including the 
global.)  PAGs work fine, but I've got a couple things that rely on UID 
association...
	2) To get /afs to appear as /afs in all of the zones, you use the a 
loopback mount.  However, since this loopback mount doesn't look like 
it's in AFS in the zone, PIOCTLs don't work.  Anyone think of a workaround?
