If we're to provide the ability for unionfs to use lookup_one_len() on

Not at all. unionfs will have to pass down proper lookup intents.
The ecryptfs developers have started looking into making that work
with stackable filesystems, and the unionfs developers should follow
that effort.

Good. I fully agree that this is preferable.
