well.. my implementation does exactly that :) I changed namei() routine to
check ni_startdir for possible startdir other then CWD and made the kern_fooat()
use it. the change is mostly self-contained (minus prototypes in sys/sys/syscallsubr.h)
in vfs_syscalls. with a very slight change (5 lines?) to vfs_lookup.c + namei.h

its quite simple. I cant comment the Isilon's version. My patch (the approach) has been 
OKed by rwatson@ and pjd@. I'd really love to see this go to -current before RELENG_7
so time is rushing.

can someone from Isilon comment their version so we can compare benefits etc.?
