Any kind?  How about if we have a systemwide atomically incremented
serial number assigned every time a namespace is created?  This is close
to what the inode number was except the inode could be in a different
proc device, as pointed out.

I'm looking at having everything relative to init_*_ns to start with, so
this isn't a problem initially, but may become so if it isn't the case.

Can anyone point out off-hand how to find that proc device number?
(I'll start looking...)

So would that serial number idea work better?

I'm looking at integrating this information into a standard message.
