[libvirt] [PATCH 1/1] lxc: handle shutdown (and detect, but mis-handle reboot)

The -mm tree has Daniel Lezcano's patch changing the handling of
sys_reboot in a non-init pidns.  That means that, with that
support, (a) it is safe to grant CAP_SYS_BOOT to a container, and
(b) it's possible to distinguish between reboot and shutdown.

I've implemented partial support of this for libvirt in the patch
below.  If Daniel's patch is not in the running kernel, then
CAP_SYS_BOOT will be dropped for the container.  Otherwise, it will
be kept in.  When the container exits, if it was determined to
be a shutdown, the container will terminate.

However, I didn't know how to properly do the reboot part.
The patch below shows how to detect it (and sets the static bool
wantreboot to true in that case), but I didn't know quite what to
do with that.  It looks like the code flow between lxcControllerRun
and lxcControllerMain would need to be changed a bit so that we
could re-run the lxcContainerStart() without causing the
monitor.serverFD (or whichever pipe sends monitor events to
lxc_driver.c to trigger autodestroy) to be closed.
	
So for now I'm sending this patch, and hoping the sorcerers on this
list can hook reboot up as well, or show the best way how.

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] lxc: handle shutdown (and detect, but mis-handle reboot)

If Daniel Lezcano's pidns reboot patch is in the kernel, then don't
drop CAP_SYS_BOOT.  When container calls shutdown, terminate the
container.

This patch detects when the container wanted to reboot, but goes
ahead and terminates the container because I don't know how to best
structure the code to support restarting a container that wanted
to reboot.
