Hi all,
A few weeks ago I proposed a patch to fix LXC shutdown for distros that use
`/run/initctl` instead of `/dev/initctl`.
Replying here so that it gets some more visibility.
Would love some feedback here: are people happy with the general approach?
This is my first libvirt patch: is the style/code quality up to snuff?
Thanks all!

Newer versions of Debian use `/run/initctl` instead of
`/dev/initctl`. This
patch updates the code to search for the FIFO from a list of well-known
locations.
In the FreeBSD case, as before, we fall-back to the `/etc/.initctl` stub.
