Apologies for the poor etiquette on posting (normal email client is 
broken so using a web version). I am trying to track down if my issues 
with libvirt_lxc are down to me missing the changes in libvirt or the 
kernel (libvirt 1.2.9, Linux 3.16.3) that are mentioned from this 
thread.
I am looking for either the git changes in both libvirt and linux 
(currently failing to find either) or if indeed these changes made it 
upstream? Is anyone able to point me in the right direction please?
This is for the issue I have with proc remounting while using <idmap> 
which I believe is the problem talked about in this thread, but I could 
well be barking up the wrong tree.

virsh # start testvm
error: Failed to start domain testvm
error: internal error: guest failed to start: Failed to re-mount 
/proc/sys on /proc/sys flags=1021: Operation not permitted

Many thanks,

Adrian
