Hi Michael,

I haven't run it, but looking over the code in detail, it looks good
to me.  I know Stéphane in the past has objected to trying to autodetect
systemd based containers.  IMO it'd be fine to expect the templates to
set lxc.autodev, as I worry about building distro-detecting hacks into
core lxc, but unless Stéphane objects I don't care enough in this case
to nack it.

Did you consider this patch good enough to apply, or was this still an
RFC?  I'm happy either way.
