[libvirt] lxc: shutdown $domain broken in 1.2.2

[Wangrui (K)]

Does this problem has any progress now? I have the same problem.

# virsh shutdown vm1
error: Failed to shutdown domain vm1
error: Mount namespaces are not available on this platform:
 Function not implemented from the logfile:

 [2014-05-06 15:26:57 CST]: libvirtd : 5194: error : virProcessRunInMountNamespace:960 :
 Mount namespaces are not available on this platform: Function not implemented

My glibc version is glibc-2.11.3-17.54.1, and virProcessRunInMountNamespace takes
the "!HAVE_SETNS" branch.

Thanks.
