An alternative approach might be that the restricted bit drops all
privileges that allows privilege changes in either direction.  E.g.,
- set restricted bit
-- adds a check anywhere MNT_NOSUID is
-- sets securebit to SECURE_NOROOT|..LOCKED
-- drops CAP_SETUID, CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, ...
-- set the caps bounding set to the minimum the restricted bit allows

That may deviate from the intent (by re-using caps), but it could keep some
of the privilege transition checking code the same.

Just a thought,
will
