There is the /dev/lxd interface which could be extended to allow such
things, but we'd have to think through this very very closely to make
this safe.

We absolutely do not want an unprivileged container to have access to an
interface which will cause the host to expose any device it wants over
to it as it could then request /dev/sda and wipe your physical disk :)


As for detecting nesting, this is entirely guessed from /proc/self/uid_map and 
/proc/self/attr/current, there is currently no communication between the host 
LXD and the nested LXD.
