[lxc-users] Preparing for LXC 1.0.8

[overlay fs]

The bug,

'Failed to whiteout' error in Trusty with 3.19 kernel
https://lists.linuxcontainers.org/pipermail/lxc-users/2015-August/009854.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxc/+bug/1486073
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1490267

is present in lxc versions 1.0.7 and 1.0.8, but seems to have been resolved
in version 1.1.  While this bug is not stricly a regression in lxc-1.0.8,
the bug was latent prior to ubuntu-14.04.3 since previous 14.04.x releases
did not use the 3.19 kernel.

As discussed in the lxc-users thread, it is uncertain whether the bug
resides in lxc or the kernel.

A couple of possible ways to circumvent the bug:

(1) Make lxc-1.0.8 depend upon kernel <= 3.17
(2) Upgrade the version of lxc in ubuntu-14.04 from the 1.0 branch to the
1.1 branch.
