I guess this isn't done for run-vmm because it might not be run through s6?

There's a subtle behaviour change here. The pid namespace is reused
between runs of crosvm, because if crosvm exits, s6-ipcserverd will stay
running and wait for the next connection, then respawn crosvm. It's
done this way because crosvm has made the unusual decision to support
being started on a connected socket, rather than a listening socket like
one might expect. Is that okay? I'd guess yes, but I want to check
with you!
