You've got Oren starting to agree with you too.  I personally don't
much care in principle, and your code looks very nice.

The way you do this and the uts patch, though, you (of course) bypass
the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check in copy_namespaces().  Which is fine for your
patchset, but a problem if we were to base a compromise patchset on
your patchset.

It of course also enforces the 'leakage' checks, which again is
subject to our whole-container c/r discussion.

But again, the code is nice, and I see no problems in it.
