I'm opening this as a draft, this is part of the needed support for user namespaces with Kubernetes. It lacks tests and general polish.
I've discussed this approach with @rata, it uses the existing labels used by fuse-overlayfs and makes them more general by adding a capability "remap-ids", I would like some initial thoughts on the idea.
Snapshotters would implement the capability, potentially conditionally (e.g. overlayfs would only return it if running on Linux >= 5.19).
cc @AkihiroSuda for fuse-overlayfs and @artqzn for pending PRs on related overlayfs parts.
