Agreed. The question is are we in the user space daemon's process when
we generate the pid_nr. Or do we stuff this in some kind of socket,
and the socket switch locations of the packet.

Basically I'm just trying to be certain we are calling pid_nr in the
proper context. Otherwise we could get the wrong pid when we have
multiple pid namespaces in play.
