autofs still needs FS_USERNS_MOUNT before you can reach that point.  But
docker does have a mode ?--userns-remap? where it sets up the containers
mounts that way.

I think in principle that should work and be safe.  I don't know how
robust autofs is against malicious users.  Which is the question to ask
before actually adding FS_USERNS_MOUNT in struct file_system_type.
