[Bug 1376437] [NEW] [FFe] LXC 1.1~alpha2

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

Dear release team,

LXC 1.1~alpha2 was just tagged upstream and we'd like to get that into
Ubuntu 14.10.

The main reasons for this are:
 - Isn't broken on the current utopic kernel
 - Makes nova-compute-flex work properly
 - Fix LXC to work on Ubuntu systems running with systemd
 - Fixes a bunch of bugs which have now been fixed in Trusty (through the 1.0.6 release)

The main features that were added between alpha1 and alpha2 are:
 - openvswitch support (required for nova-compute-flex and a candidate for inclusion in stable)
 - lxc-start now defaults to backgrounded mode (I will revert that change prior to upload to avoid potential last minute breakages)
 - Support for checkpoint/restart with recent CRIU. This feature will however not be available in 14.10 due to the ancient CRIU currently in the archive.
 - Introduction of lxc-top which used to be only available in our PPA through the lua-lxc package. It's now been rewritten in C and is included in the default set of commands.

The whole changelog is:
 - pivot_root: umount ., not /
