You definitely need to upgrade that version of LXC.
1) It's old.
2) It's an alpha version.

I would most definitely update the entire system including and
especially the kernel. Nothing that LXC does should cause a kernel
panic.

I'm not even sure how this relates to LXC. From what I'm seeing below,
I do see functions in veth and br_*, which could be from an LXC
container, so the fault is failing somewhere down through the bridging
code and into e1000 NIC driver and interrupt handlers. That's a kernel
fault of some sort, and really deep. Definitely upgrade that kernel.
