Seems sensible to me too but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Perhaps a bit more on how this is secure to give an idea what's been
checked and where to focus so the the survey can be broadened from
there... I'm not sure.

For example, from my simple minded view I wonder about the posix acl
code.

In ovl_posix_acl_xattr_set() there is a call to posix_acl_from_xattr()
that uses init_user_ns. I wonder if that should be the current user ns
in this case but I'm not sure?
