Hi Paul,
In [patch 3/7] Containers (V8): Add generic multi-subsystem API to
containers, you have forcefully enabled interrupt in
container_init_subsys() with spin_unlock_irq() which breaks on PPC64.

Interrupt gets enabled here and on PPC64, the kernel takes a pending
decrementer and crashes because it is too early to handle them.
Use of irqsave and restore routines would fix the problem.
OK, thanks. I'll add that change.
