Hi Alexander,

I want to force a process to have no cwd/root (yes, a radical concept but
very convenient for some VFS features, e.g. when forcibly unmounting a
filesystem). Now, for dget/mntget it is certainly valid but I am not sure
if it is valid for namei stuff - i.e. are all name lookups going to fail
for a process that has no cwd/root automatically?

Regards,
Tigran
