  Basically it's executing ip commands, so the real code changes are outside
of libvirt.

 Hum, it's not only a kernel feature, it looks more like a dependancy on
iproute, maybe that can be checked at runtime when initializing the lxc 
module, no ?

  use snprintf there too

I think Jim insists on having const char const * [], but I bet he will explain
this better than me :-)

   Hum, here i don't understand, if argv is defined as local stack data,
I find a bit confusing to use it in the argument for VIR_ALLOC_N. I would
use an intermediate local variable to make this cleaner/ easier to read.

  yeah I'm getting very confused by that code :-)

  Oh can you use

/*

 *
 * Copyright IBM Corp. 2008
 *
 * See COPYING.LIB for the License of this software
 *
 * Authors:

as the header template for the two new files to match the other files.
COPYING.LIB is of course LGPL 2.1


   thanks !
