Wonder if it would make sense to make this a sysctl...

There might be something in somebody's pipeline around this...Early
this year Al Viro said (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/12/104) he was
going to bump it post 2.6.16 back up to 8 to match the comment.

Al:  In the thread referenced above you'd said you would if there
wasn't any major complaint and it didn't seem like any surfaced.  Are
you still planning to up MAX_NESTED_LINKS?
