So I don't think we actually have anything that could be called an ABI
break in the whole mess, but it is definitely a behavioral change that
is a regression for lxc and libvirt-lxc that prevents them from starting.

nodev does not actually matter because of the implicit silliness that
is being added right now.

We do want those programs fixed and after those programs are fixed we
can safely begin failing mount when those attributes are being cleared
in a fresh mount.

So it looks to me like the best thing to do is to print a warning
whenever lxc or libvirt-lxc gets it wrong, which should ensure the
authors are sufficiently pestered that in a kernel release or 3 we can
begin enforcing those attributes.  Especially as the discussion on the
fix for those applications has already begun.

And if folks would double check the patch I am going to post in a moment
to ensure that lxc and libvirt-lxc continue to start I would appreciate it.
