beh, i got a little long-winded and forgot the best part!  if this
guess is correct (you want your 4 existing networks/cards to remain as
is, and add LXC guests to the mix), try removing:

bridge_ports eth1

... from the `br0` config -- this alone might be enough to fix -- you
may still need to:

ip link set br0 up

... to force the bridge to an UP state.  `ifup br0` probably works
too.  but honestly, if you remove `bridge_ports`, i think everything
might Just Work.
