If there are none, maybe you could also add a range of free conf options
- a range of options, which are ignored by the tools, but may help when
doing scripting on the host.

For instance,

lxc.host.arch = i386
lxc.host.autostart = true

You ignore everything that starts with lxc.host, but an initscript
starting containers could parse the config and use these options for
finetuning its jobs.

Just an idea :)
