[lxc-users] Missing lxd-agent on centos/8/cloud

[Stéphane Graber]

It's not really missing so much as can't start because of a kernel issue.

CentOS 8 randomly dropped the required 9p kernel module in an earlier
kernel release, breaking the agent.
We've filed a bug but got no interest in a fast resolution from CentOS
upstream unfortunately...
