[Devel] gentoo baselayout 1.13 openvz modifications

[Kir Kolyshkin]

Hello,

I was checking the stuff added to Gentoo's baselayout 1.13 to make it 
compatible with VPS systems like Linux-VServer or OpenVZ.

Everything looks great, the only minor problem I found is this code in 
bootmisc:

        if [[ $(uname) == "Linux" ]]  && ! is_vps_sys ; then
                # BSD has it's own sysctl init script
                if [[ -e /etc/sysctl.conf ]] ; then
                        ebegin $"Configuring kernel parameters"
                        sysctl -q -p /etc/sysctl.conf
                        eend $?
                fi
        fi

The problem here is in OpenVZ some of sysctl variables are virtualized, 
i.e. you can set it from inside your VE. Usually this is not needed, and 
not too many people do that, but still if there is /etc/sysctl.conf 
people expect that it will be applied during VE start.

Surely this is minor problem and it does not cry for fixing it now. 
Still, at the very least it would be helpful to add FIXME or TODO-like 
comment in the code.

Regards,
  Kir.
