Looks not, for example, kernel can choose to limit various operations
on a fd, even if the process holds the key
1) privileged process do setup on fd, passing that fd to unprivileged fd
2) unprivileged process can only use a subset of the functions of a fd
In the case of Qemu, it prevents the kernel from the case where for
example malicious guests can escape to Qemu.
In the case of vhost-net, the privilege is the owner. For example, the
following seems to be valid in the case of vhost-net:
1) Two processes (A and B) share a part of the memory
2) A is the owner of the vhost-net who is in charge of building memory
mappings via IOTLB
3) A passess vhost-net fd to process B

This seems to be a great relaxation of the ownership check. I would
like to hear from Michael first.
