Eric W. Biederman 890a86d330 user_namespaces.7: Clarify the meaning of "Mounts that come as a single unit"
Quoting Eric Biederman:

The importance of [mounts coming across as a dingle unit] is [to]
allow the global root to mount over things and not have to worry
that someone from a user namespace root can peek underneath.

Michael Kerrisk 6c21c0f947 user_namespaces.7: Say a little less about execve(2) and user ID mappings
The existing discussion under user and group ID mappings
probably suffices.
