Ah, no, mountall just gets upset about some forced readonly
mounts.  lxc.mount.auto = proc always worked for me.  If I do

ubuntu@c-saucy-1:~/lxc-0.9.0.0~staging~20130911-2324$ git diff src/lxc/conf.c

then sys and cgroup auto-mount also work.  The problem with both is that
mountall has entries in /lib/init/fstab saying they should be mounted
readwrite, so it hangs trying to force that to happen.

How would you feel about adding a flag to specify whether they should be
readonly?  How would we specify the flag?  (Note it's ok for sys to be
read-write in ubuntu since apparmor confines it.  cgroups by default are
too, but we don't have a good way yet to generate policy which will allow
/sys/fs/cgroup/$controller/$container-cgroup-path/ to be written to but the
/sys/fs/cgroup/$controller not)
