This is a feature to optimize for rmdir and rename dir.
When the number of whiteouts under the target dir is very many, it may
take a long time to remove them all. To prevent this, 'dirwh=%d' option
specifies the watermark to decide when to remove them.

For details, see aufs manual in aufs-util.git.

It is hard to implement readdir(3) for aufs virtual directory.
It considers the every whiteout in a single direcotry, as well as the
(first) opaque marker (diropq).
This implementation consumes memory a lot, and I'd suggest you to try
RDU (readdir in userspace) in later commit.
