Well unionfs seemed to get different oops in each new version. Anyway
I don't think it should be done like this (having specific code for
unionfs everywhere).
I want to improve current chroot mode (like using a cgroup to easily
kill all processes or set limits) and have a common api to allow other
modes, like building in kvm for example, or using lvm/btrfs rw
snapshots (which should be better supported than unionfs).
