            Note that for performance reasons the kernel does not account
            kernel memory use unless a kernel memory limit is set. If a limit
            is not set, <command>lxc-info</command> will display kernel memory
            use as 0. A limit can be set by specifying
            <programlisting>
            lxc.cgroup.memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes = <replaceable>number</replaceable>
            </programlisting>
