And we will need some kind of static storage for open descriptors to be
closed on abort? And we will need semaphores, locks and other 'nice'
things to be sure, that liblxc whould be usable in threaded environment?

Or we should just drop open descriptions leaving buffered messages to be
lost forever (probably, there would be last log messages)? Or probably
call sync to have massive i/o slowdown on every i/o write operation, if
there is active file server on host?

Is it worth it?
