 I've been trying to think of an easy way of coding it so that relative
 lookups that hit absolute symlinks inside the emulated root are
 treated the same as absolute lookups.
 I think it needs a check for vn_isunder() in the symlink path and
 (yet) another revamp of what is tested to determine that the emulated
 root should be considered.
