Bug Description
Libvirt's LXC implementation exposes a read-only `/proc/sys/net` to guests.
This can cause guest's default network configuration scripts to fail when trying to bring up `IPv6` interfaces.
The short-term fix is to use `postup-hooks` to configure the interface.
Longer-term, we may want to consider a writable `/proc/sys/net` (we just need to verify that this can be done securely).

libvirt: Support IPv6 with LXC
Libvirt's LXC implementation exposes a read-only `/proc/sys/net` to the
guests. This causes some of the guest's default network configuration scripts
to fail.
This patch works-around the issue by using `post-up` hooks to configure IPv6.
