He didn't. I updated the diff at his request. ;-)

I'm still interested in feedback on my change to namei() to make this
work. If it's ok, I should add a sentence to namei(9) too.

Oh, and AT_FDCWD: This could be any value that will never be used as a
file descriptor. Currently it's the same value as Solaris (makes binary
compability easier), but I don't particulary like the value they have
chosen: 0xffd19553   (= -3041965 (mod 2^32))  Any opinions?
