Hi,

Any comment on this last version?

Any chance to be merged?
I've got a use case for this:  I went to one of the Graphene talks in
Edinburgh and it struck me that we seem to keep reinventing the type of
sandboxing that qemu-user already does.  However if you want to do an
x86 on x86 sandbox, you can't currently use the binfmt_misc mechanism
because that has you running *every* binary on the system emulated.
Doing it per user namespace fixes this problem and allows us to at
least cut down on all the pointless duplication.
Waaaaaait. What? qemu-user does not do "sandboxing". qemu-user makes
your code slower and *LESS* secure. As far as I know, qemu-user is
only intended for purposes like development and testing.
