It's now been proven over and over again that the symlink from /dev/kmsg
to /dev/console is harmful for everything but upstart systems. As Ubuntu
is now switching over to systemd too, lets switch the default.
Upstart users wishing to see boot messages can always set lxc.kmsg = 1
manually in their config (so long as they don't expect to then
dist-upgrade the container to systemd succesfuly).

This idea came from Andy Lutomirski. Instead of using a
temporary directory for the pivot_root put-old, use "." both
for new-root and old-root. Then fchdir into the old root
temporarily in order to unmount the old-root, and finally
chdir back into our '/'.
Drop lxc.pivotdir from the lxc.container.conf manpage.
Warn when we see a lxc.pivotdir entry (but keep it in the
lxc.conf for now).

This patch adds support for checkpointing and restoring containers via CRIU.
It adds two api calls, ->checkpoint and ->restore, which are wrappers around
the CRIU CLI. CRIU has an RPC API, but reasons for preferring exec() are
discussed in [1].
To checkpoint, users specify a directory to dump the container metadata (CRIU
dump files, plus some additional information about veth pairs and which
bridges they are attached to) into this directory. On restore, this
information is read out of the directory, a CRIU command line is constructed,
and CRIU is exec()d. CRIU uses the lxc-restore-net callback (which in turn
inspects the image directory with the NIC data) to properly restore the
network.
This will only work with the current git master of CRIU; anything as of
a152c843 should work. There is a known bug where containers which have been
restored cannot be checkpointed [2].

v2: add get_config_item
clear_config_item is not supported, as it isn't for lxc.console, bc
you can do 'lxc.console.logfile =' to clear it. Likewise save_config
is not needed because the config is now just written through the
unexpanded char*.

The virtd_lxc_t type provided by the default RHEL/CentOS/Oracle 6.5
policy is an unconfined_domain(), so it doesn't really enforce anything.
This change will provide a link in the documentation to an example
policy that does confine containers.
On more recent distributions with new enough policy, it is recommended
not to use this sample policy, but to use the types already available
on the system from /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/lxc_contexts, ie:
process = "system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0"
file = "system_u:object_r:svirt_sandbox_file_t:s0"

It's quite useful to be able to configure containers by specifying
environment variables, which init (or initscripts) can use to adjust the
container's operation.
This patch adds one new configuration parameter, `lxc.environment`, which
can be specified zero or more times to define env vars to set in the
container, like this:
lxc.environment = APP_ENV=production
lxc.environment = SYSLOG_SERVER=192.0.2.42
lxc.environment = SOMETHING_FUNNY=platypus
Default operation is unchanged; if the user doesn't specify any
lxc.environment parameters, the container environment will be what it is
today ('container=lxc').

Commit 1fb86a7c introduced a way to drop capabilities without having to
specify them all explicitly. Unfortunately, there is no way to drop them
all, as just specifying an empty keep list, ie:
lxc.cap.keep =
clears the keep list, causing no capabilities to be dropped.
This change allows a special value "none" to be given, which will clear
all keep capabilities parsed up to this point. If the last parsed value
is none, all capabilities will be dropped.

Originally we kept snapshots under /var/lib/lxcsnaps. If a
separate btrfs is mounted at /var/lib/lxc, then we can't
make btrfs snapshots under /var/lib/lxcsnaps.
This patch moves the default directory to /var/lib/lxc/c/snaps.
If /var/lib/lxcsnaps already exists, then we continue to use that.
add c->destroy_with_snapshots() and c->snapshot_destroy_all()
API methods. c->snashot_destroy_all() can be triggered from
lxc-snapshot using '-d ALL'. There is no command to call
c->destroy_with_snapshots(c) as of yet.
lxclock: use ".$lxcname" for container lock files
that way we can use /run/lock/lxc/$lxcpath/$lxcname/snaps as a
directory when locking snapshots without having to worry about
/run/lock//lxc/$lxcpath/$lxcname being a file.
destroy: split off a container_destroy
container_destroy() doesn't check for snapshots, so snapshot_rename can
use it. api_destroy() now does check for snapshots (previously it only
checked for fs - i.e. overlayfs/aufs - snapshots).
Add destroy to the manpage, as it was previously undocumented.
Update snapshot testcase accordingly.

This adds new functionality to lxc-autostart.
*) The -g / --groups option is multiple cummulative entry.
This may be mixed freely with the previous comma separated
group list convention. Groups are processed in the
order they first appear in the aggregated group list.
*) The NULL group may be specified in the group list using either a
leading comma, a trailing comma, or an embedded comma.
*) Booting proceeds in order of the groups specified on the command line
then ordered by lxc.start.order and name collalating sequence.
*) Default host bootup is now specified as "-g onboot," meaning that first
the "onboot" group is booted and then any remaining enabled
containers in the NULL group are booted.
*) Adds documentation to lxc-autostart for -g processing order and
combinations.
*) Parameterizes bootgroups, options, and shutdown delay in init scripts
and services.
*) Update the various init scripts to use lxc-autostart in a similar way.
