Pavel,

Should we include this in the patchset ?

Subject: [PATCH] Allow signalling container-init

Only the global-init process must be special - any other container-init
process must be killable to prevent run-away processes in the system.

TODO: 	Ideally we should allow killing the container-init only from
	ancestor containers and prevent it being killed from that or
	descendant containers.  But that is a more complex change and
	will be addressed by a follow-on patch. For now allow the
	container-init to be terminated by any process with sufficient
	privileges.
