FYI I have succesfully run systemd in libvirt LXC with all
namespaces except for the user namespace.

I have not tried to use user namespaces yet, but I wouldn't
anticipate any problems.

The key tasks is that after running the 'yum' command to populate
the chroot with an install of the OS, you need to have a script
that changes all the user / group IDs.

eg in the libvirt XML you're going to setup a UID/GID mapping 
so that uid 0 in the container maps to say uid 500 in the host,
and so on for any other uids. You need to setup your chroot
files to have this matching ownership. At some point we need
to create the 'virt-bootstrap' command I mention in that blog
post todo this uid mapping automatically with user namespaces.
