So if some people don't like "container", how about just calling it "context"? The downside of that name is that it's very commonly used in the kenel, because a lot of things have "contexts". That's why "container" would be a lot better.

I'd suggest

	current->container	- the current EFFECTIVE container
	current->master_container - the "long term" container.

(replace "master" with some other non-S&M term if you want)

Hmm.  You actually need a linked list, otherwise you have replaced a one
level flat structure with a two level one, and you miss out on some of
the applications.  VServer uses a special structure for this.
