      In order to protect the '/android_secure' directory on VFAT removable media
    from being mucked with by 3rd party applications on the device, we hide the
    directory with a read-only, zero-sized tmpfs mounted on-top. A reference to the
    hidden directory is kept by a bind-mount which is mounted at a location which
    only root can access.
    
    Staging consists of:
      1. Mount checked media at a secure location (/mnt/secure/staging)
      2. Ensure /android_secure exists on the media, (creating if it doesnt)
      3. Bind-mount /mnt/secure/staging/android_secure -> /mnt/secure/asec
         (where only root can access it)
      4. Mount an RDONLY zero-sized tmpfs over /mnt/secure/staging/android_secure
      5. Atomically move /mnt/secure/staging to the publicly accessable storage
         directory (/mnt/sdcard)
