[Blueprint servercloud-r-binfmtns] Namespace for binfmt?

[Serge Hallyn]

Blueprint changed by Serge Hallyn:

Whiteboard changed:
  User Stories:
  
  Aboo installs qemu-user-static:i386 on his amd64 host.  He is
  now unable to execute any amd64 elf binaries including sync and
  poweroff.
  
  Risks:
  
  Upstream (kernel) rejects the idea.
  
  Test Plans:
  
  * Install
    * qemu-user-static:i386 on amd64 host
    * qemu-user-static:amd64 in i386 userspace on amd64 kernel
  
  * Run full ltp, qemu, libvirt, and lxc testsuites on any proposed kernel
  change.
  
  Release Note:

+   * I don't seem able to make qemu-user-static in a i386 chroot on amd64
+     hot break the host in raring.  (in precise i can).  Therefore I removed the
+     work item for adding a check for that condition to qemu-user-static.postinst.
