   In order to check for absolute path, I need to copyin the path, and it
   wil be copied in later again. I suspect that check should go at namei
   level.

Sorry, my question wasn't clear.  All I meant was `Have you confirmed
by code inspection that this is true, and/or written some atf tests to
verify it automatically?'.
