   * Backport btrfs / lvm snapshot support.
   * Ensure container shutting down is correctly detected
   by LXC.

   of it.
   * Update lxc initscript to handle correctly lxc-info
   0.7.5 output.
   * Remove virtual network interface on error.
   * Improve gateway detection in container.
   * Output warning when trying to run twice a container.
   * Accurately detect whether a system supports
   clone_children (bnc#750470).
