I'd like to, but doing chroot safely is quite tricky - there are all sorts
of small corner cases that can make it quite unsafe. I have been working
on it a little recently, but I'm not sure that it will make the 4.8
release.

There are no chroot patches that I'd recommend for general use at the
moment.
