Yes we should be able to assign just about any process as the child_reaper for the pid namespace. That is an entirely distinct concept in the kernel. Although we have to be careful we don't reap ourselves, so there are some subtle cases but it isn't a pid issue. If this is just an application container it might make sense to have a kernel thread standing in for /sbin/init. Basically the whole application container thing is something we need to revisit when we have the basic pid namespace implemented and before we finalize things, and remove the CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL tag.
