[LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] dispersed namespaces revisited

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Hannes,

the answer is pretty simple:  dispersed namespaces are a bad idea and
will not be implemented in Linux, and this has been the stance since
this was first proposed.

If these vendors want Linux support they can already trivially
implement virtual subsystems and are highly encouraged to do so.
(the concept of domains actually makes it even simpler than in
the beginning).
