+       Reduce LXC capabilities
+       * src/lxc_container.c: Use libcap-ng to clear capabilities,
+       and also drop SYS_MODULE, SYS_TIME, AUDIT_CONTROL, and
+       MAC_ADMIN, in addition to SYS_BOOT.
+       * src/lxc_controller.c: Drop all capabilities once container
+       has been spawned.
