baf6671fd3 change the rootfs mount location and add the README
Previous path was $libdir/lxc, changed to $libdir/lxc/rootfs.
Added a README file to be placed in this directory, describing
the purpose of this empty directory. Having a file to be installed
in this directory makes the Makefile to automatically create the
directory at install time.

e4b3fe5833 lxc: introduce lxc-kill command (v4)
lxc-kill send a signal to the process 1 of the container.

If this command is used on an application container ran by
lxc-execute, the lxc-init will receive the signal and will forward it to
the process 2 which is the command specified in the command line.

81810dd120 drop capabilities
Hello everyone!

I've written a patch which adds a new config keyword
'lxc.cap.drop'. This keyword allows to specify capabilities which are
dropped before executing the container binary.

Example:

lxc.cap.drop = sys_chroot
lxc.cap.drop = mknod
lxc.cap.drop = sys_module

or specify in a single line:

lxc.cap.drop = sys_chroot mknod sys_module

e892973e39 add macvlan vepa and bridge mode
The future kernel 2.6.33 will incorporate the macvlan bridge
mode where all the macvlan will be able to communicate if they are
using the same physical interface. This is an interesting feature
to have containers to communicate together. If we are outside of the
container, we have to setup a macvlan on the same physical interface than
the containers and use it to communicate with them.

the first cgroup mount point is used.
