  * Pull patches from upstream which prevent a race between lxc driver and
    controller while a container is started, easily exposed by nova.

Bug description:
  I've seen this issue fairly consistently when trying to launch
  multiple LXC instances:

  euca-run-instances -n 4 -k whatever ami-XXXXXX

  Some instances start OK - some fail to start and sit 'pending' with
  this error message in the nova-compute.log file.
