You can't just make such a package setuid root, that would defeat the purpose
of protecting the id. There would at least need to be a configuration part to
enable only trusted users, or we'd have to use sudo and somehow prompt for
passwords.

In any case the biggest problem is to first get to the point where we have to
return the id. We can't require people to create a fake loop device for this,
we need some sort of pseudo-device using an ntoskrnl-style mechanism to handle
ioctls.
