There was indication in the past of some work in progress patches:

Andy, have you published them somewhere? Any amount of inotify support
in overlayfs, even with limitations, will greatly improve ubuntu live cd

Why bother with inotify: it's cheap, when the alternative of constantly
polling is expensive w.r.t. system resources and hence not used.
