Related question.  Do you happen to know how many mounts per mount
namespace tend to be used?  It looks like it is going to be wise to put
a configurable limit on that number.  And I would like the default to be
something high enough most people don't care.  I believe autofs is
likely where people tend to use the most mounts.
