    It occurs to me that one could theoretically (but not easily) jump out
    of a chroot using i386_iopl(2) and related calls, possibly by
    manipulating the hard drives, possibly some other way.

    Perhaps these functions (i386_iopl, i386_set_ioperm) should be
    disabled for chrooted processes?

    A compile time option to disable them might be a good idea too?
    (Regardless of what security level you run your kernel at)

    Cheers,

    Dave
