I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't so much advocating on the
device namespace part, just the issue at hand (device access
filtering based on which ns happens to be 'active'). We are already
trying to do this in userspace, let's see how that goes.

That being said, our wish would be to support any combination of
OS's and frankly, I'd be slightly annoyed to tell the customer that
they can't do two Androids or we magically run out of bits.
