[RFC][PATCH 7/14] Union-mount mounting

[Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Jan Blunck <j.blunck@tu-harburg.de>
Subject: Union-mount mounting

Adds union mount support to mount() and umount() system calls.
Sets up the union stack during mount and destroys it during unmount.

TODO: bind and move mounts aren't yet supported with union mounts.
