If we want to do something like this the only sane thing I can see is to have a per container version of kthread call it uthread. That the user mode helper code would use to launch a new process.
Anything else and I expect we will be tearing our hair out for the rest of our lives with weird corner cases or unexpected semantics.
At first glace I would exepct uthread to be per pid namespace in implementation.
