I must say that my gut feeling here is that bolting an arbitrary new namespace into the kernel in this manner is not the way to proceed. I hope we'll hear more from Greg on this next week - see if we can come up with some way to use the kobject/sysfs namespace for this. Although heaven knows how "tmpfs just ran out of space" would map onto kobject/sysfs.
