We can probably improve the situation a bit with rust. Or generate such
things from header or something...
pve-container (the only current user of this) is probably a good
candidate to start moving some more chunks over to rust anyway...

The only thing I would have done differently here is copy-pasta the
values from /usr/include/linux/mount.h without turning them into bit
shifts, that way they're more "easily"™ validated (for some
interpretation of "easy"), unless the bit shifted version already comes
from some other trusted source?
But doesn't matter much.
