No, my expression was a bit unclean there.

What I meant is that the path in argv[0] and similar stops making sense
after the switch to the root fs, since we did a MS_MOVE there, which
invalidates all old paths...

But yeah, there's no new vfs namespace opened, just some major changes in
what means what in the original namespace.
