Do you enable cgroup memory subsystem? If so, something wrong in
lxc driver of 0.8.0.

BTW, 'Used memory' includes both RSS and caches, so if you need
total-RSS value, you should use dommemstat.

We can get statistics of dommemstat easily through memory.stat of
cgroup.memory subsystem except statistics of page faults.
