This will also allow libvirt to run QEMU confined by the Linux
container functionality. In particular it lets us use CLONE_NEWNS
flag to isolate its root filesystem, without having to worry about
setting up passthrough mounts for each disk image it needs to
access, which is a real pain when it comes to hotplug.
