Hrm.  That patch kinda works.  It allows me to create a file in the root
of the unionfs and the file shows up in the RW branch, but if I try to
create a file in a subdirectory, EROFS still:

# cat /proc/mounts
10.8.0.8:/mnt/boots/boulder/generic-node /sysroot-ro nfs 
ro,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,udp,nolock,addr=10.8.0.8 0 0
none /sysroot-rw tmpfs rw 0 0
unionfs /sysroot unionfs 
rw,dirs=/sysroot-rw=rw:/sysroot-ro=ro,debug=0,delete=whiteout,copyup=preserve 0 0

# ls -l /sysroot/foo
ls: /sysroot/foo: No such file or directory
# ls -l /sysroot-rw/foo
ls: /sysroot-rw/foo: No such file or directory
# busybox touch /sysroot/foo
# ls -l /sysroot-rw
-rw-r--r--    1 0        0               0 Mar  3 10:52 foo
# ls -l /sysroot/foo
-rw-r--r--    1 0        0               0 Mar  3 10:52 foo
# busybox touch /sysroot/usr/foo
touch: /sysroot/usr/foo: Read-only file system
# busybox touch /sysroot/lib/foo
touch: /sysroot/lib/foo: Read-only file system

Any more ideas?
