Thanks for replying.  I ended up getting the ppa daily build (because
I like living dangerously) and setting up kernel 3.11.0 from Ubuntu
Saucy.  To be honest I'm not expecting amazing performance here with
my environment.  I'm running on Xen-PV using PV-Grub (PyGrub is a more
common name for it I think).  The kernel is running through that setup
as the host provided kernels don't have the necessary supports
enabled.  Prior testing showed that LXC is viable in the environment
and worked in the past but bridging won't work due to the way the host
has their switches setup (no foreign mac addresses are allowed...) so
it will be nat only for me.
