Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

In Fedora 20, libvirt_lxc crashes immediately at startup with a
trace
#0 0x00007f0cddb653ec in free () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#1 0x00007f0ce0e16f4a in virFree (ptrptr=ptrptr@entry=0x7f0ce1830058) at util/viralloc.c:580

Normally virInitialize calls virErrorInitialize and
virThreadInitialize, but we don't link to libvirt.so
in libvirt_lxc, and nor did we ever call the error
or thread initializers.
I have absolutely no idea how this has ever worked, let alone
what caused it to stop working in Fedora 20.
In addition not all code paths from virLogSetFromEnv will
ensure virLogInitialize is called correctly, which is another
possible crash scenario.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
