Plugins might need access to host ipc namespace. A good usecase is a volume plugin running iscsi multipath commands that need access to host kernel locks. Tested with a custom plugin (aragunathan/global-net-plugin-full) that's built with `"ipchost" : true` in config.json. Observed using `readlink /proc/self/ns/ipc` that plugin and host have the same ns.

The non-reference docs have been moved!
The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.
See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.
If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine
If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release,
use the vnext-engine branch:
https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine
The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.
The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
