There are 2 possible things one can do:

1) Split everything, /usr, /usr/src, /usr/portage each on a seperate 
filesystem.
2) Seperate multiple paths from /usr: Have 1 fs /mnt/data and link (or 
bind mount) /usr/src, /usr/portage there. You have a shared fs for dirx, 
that are usually not shared.

What would be the benefits of symlinks and bind mounts for doing 2)?
