The value of LXC_netns_support is set to false by default in the 
const.py. But, I guess this is not the appropriate way for verifying the 
NETNS support.
Can you help me with the steps for automating the verification of the 
NETNS support in the kernel ?
I shall update the tc to be skipped as of now for LXC by verifying the 
LXC_netns_support variable, we can update the tc to call appropriate 
function that verifies the NETNS support once it is in the test suite.

Thanks and Regards,
