This could definitely use a lot more comments.  For instance, why is
--make-shared needed?  What about --rbind?

I trust that you tested this code and it works, but it isn't obvious
*why* it works or why it must be written this way.

It would be best to have a document explaining what all of the mount
points and namespaces are, why they are as they are, and what mount
propagation is involved.
