>     Great feature :).. i was wondering if it made sense to implement this sysctl as a per-jail setting so one jail could have one setting and another have another setting? Arguably, one could just leave the default, but it’s a just thought I had when reading your commit message.

Thanks!  Yes, eventually this could be turned into a per-jail
parameter.  In most cases it just doesn't matter within a jail, though
- for Linux jails you probably want to have a usual Linux root
filesystem, without /compat/linux; thus, linuxulator path translation
will be a nop.
