I'm still a bit leery of relying on C99 conversion to bool; I would
write this as:

!!(vm->def->features & (1 << VIR_DOMAIN_FEATURE_PRIVNET))

or similar.  But this wouldn't be the first time we rely on the compiler
obeying the spec without us having to add extra syntax.

On the other hand, this use is fine (that is, passing int to a bool
parameter is risky, using int in || is not).

ACK, whether or not you change the syntax of the call to
lxcContainerRenameAndEnableInterfaces.
