Running a Docker container with --privileged

I am following this example to run two websites on the same Elastic Beanstalk instance from two different Docker containers - exactly as the example shows. However, in one of my Docker containers, I mount a cifs drive from another AWS Windows fileserver. This works great when I build the Docker locally and run it with the --privileged flag. Only I can't figure out if this is supported with Elastic Beanstalk.

I need to know if AWS supports running one of the dockers (or both) with --privileged permissions?

I have seen a hacky way to do it (which works great) for a single Docker container here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28267419/how-can-i-run-a-docker-container-in-aws-elastic-beanstalk-with-non-default-run-p), but this obviously doesn't apply to the multi-docker mode.
