I think adding a new interface to a core kernel subsystem should come
with a greater requirement to work out something generally useful and
not be overly wedded to a single use case (eg F_SEAL_GUEST)

Especially if something like 'single user' is not just a small
implementation artifact but a key design tennant of the whole eventual
solution.
