For a directory which has millions of files, aufs VDIR consumes
much memory. In this case, RDU (readdir(3) in user-space) is definitely
better.
If you enable CONFIG_AUFS_RDU at compiling aufs, install libau.so from
aufs-util.git, and set some environment variables, then you can use this
feature. When readdir(3) in libau.so receives an aufs dir, it issues
ioctl(2) instead of regular readdir(3).
All merging and whiteout handling are done in userspace.
