We are probably going to need to go a couple rounds with this but at
first approximation I think this functionality needs to be tied to the
user namespace. This functionality already looks half tied to it.

When mounting filesystems with user namespaces priveleges matures a
little more you should be able to use unmapped labels. In the near term
we are looking at filesystems such as tmpfs, fuse and posibly extN.
