Marc pointed out some issues in 7741, but I've since made some changes
to 7741, and what's in there now works pretty well from what I can tell.
It uses the same symlink-y approach, but uses d_automount where
available, and follow_link elsewhere.

Currently, I am aware of no issues with gerrit 7741 (besides conceding
that 'immediately recursive' mountpoints don't work). I really think
that needs more review and testing, etc, but so far it's the only
solution I have that doesn't have some known bug or significant
limitation, and is actually implemented.
