[lxc-devel] [PATCH 4/8] ubuntu-cloud: changes to support unprivileged use

From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn at ubuntu.com>

don't try to lock if using a specified tarball

The lock/subsys/lxc-ubuntu-cloud lock is to protect the tarballs
managed under /var/cache/lxc/cloud-$release.  Don't lock if we've
been handed a tarball.

fake device creation

Unprivileged users can't create devices, so bind mount null, tty, urandom
and console from the host.
