From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>
The LXC controller uses dbus to talk to systemd to create
cgroups. This means that each LXC controller instance has
a dbus connection. The DBus daemon is limited to 256
connections by default and we want to be able to run many
1000 of containers.
While the dbus limit could be raised in the config files,
it is simpler to make libvirt LXC controller close its
dbus connection once everything is configured.
