Currently, the setns() wrapper is supported only for x86_64 and i686

The syscall numbers for other platforms was fetched using this
command:
kernel.git $ git grep "define.*__NR_setns" | grep -e arm -e powerpc -e
s390
arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define
__NR_setns (__NR_SYSCALL_BASE+375)
arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:#define __NR_setns 375
arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define
__NR_setns 350
arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:#define __NR_setns 339

NACK, we shouldn't be duplicating syscall definitions. There should
be AC_CHECK_FUNCS([setns]) (instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE() for the
syscall) and having with_lxc = "yes" and ac_cv_func_setns != "yes"
should result in an error.
The only problem with this might be that on systems with older glibc
(and there is plenty of them) libvirt will fail to build / miss this
feature. And it's not that the kernel doesn't support the namesapces.
But let me see if I can get some ACKs on that approach you're suggesting.
