Is the fact that aufs is only in cvs, no tarballs available, going to be
a problem?

It's fairly simple to check out aufs from cvs and make our own tarball.
I tried it yesterday, and the whole thing is only 1.8M.

...../aufs.wcvs$  du -sh .
1.8M    .

One nice thing is it's primarily a kernel module, and kernel patches may
not be necessary.  There are some optional kernel patches, which may be
required depending on what kernel options are selected.  I haven't
checked it against our kernel options yet.
