Bug description:
  I'n trying to get (unpriviliged) lxc containers to run on wily.  I
  create a container like this:

  > lxc-create -t download -n u1 -- -d ubuntu -r wily -a amd64

  that works.  However, starting the container fails:

  > lxc-start -n u1                                            
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 346 To get more details, run the container in foreground mode.
  lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

  Setting the log priority to debug shows the following (relevant part
  only):

  So it seems a cgmanager issue.  Syslog shows:

  Jan 13 21:37:58 miranda cgmanager[22010]: cgmanager:do_create_main: pid 25615 (uid 1000 gid 1000) may not create under /run/cgmanager/fs/pids
