When a distro is run in a container it is desirable to be able to run
the distro's security policy in that container. Ideally this will get
addressed by being able to do some level of per user namespace stacking.
Say selinux outside and apparmor inside a container.

I think this would take a little more work than what Casey has currently
devised but I am hopeful an additional layer of stacking can be added
after Casey has merged the basic layer of stacking.
