Bug Description
[Description]
"Native LXC Driver" for nova is a new virtualization driver that uses native LXC userland tools rather than the the libvirt implemenation of LXC. It improves nova for making LXC usable for production deployments.
It is currently being worked upstream and we expect to have a simple implemenation by the end of the month.
[Proposed changes]
The new features are the following:
- Self contained LXC driver that starts and stops lxc containers as instances
- Allowing to view the LXC console through euca-get-console and equivalent
- Basic unit tests that are run during build time.
[Regression Potential]
There is very little regression potential since it is a new driver and there hasnt been any users of the native lxc driver.

Same questions as on the MP: why do we want to include this so early on in its development and ahead of upstream?
