So, a follow-up on this. It seems that there were some confusion
around whether or not extra kernel configuration parameters where
needed to run LXC. It turns out that the answer is no, and that
the linux-yocto kernel by default has all the bells and whistles
needed for LXC as it is. This of course means that the need for
an extra *_FEATURES parameter simply disappeared.

Now the only question is why you did not yell at me for missing
this fact, Bruce ;)

I've now reposted the series without the offending patch.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion,
/Jonas
