Something else: bm_register_write() currently calls into open_exec(),
which uses the credentials of current. That's not really allowed in
this context - but so far, it's not a big deal because only
init-namespace root can reach this code. Before you expose this stuff
to unprivileged userspace, this needs to get fixed; perhaps by
wrapping the open_exec() call in override_creds(file->f_cred) and
revert_creds().
