While playing with DevStack inside a LXC container, i'd run into a a lot of issues where once the ./stack.sh reached the neutron stage it failed with odd errors.

These above errors come from the underlying host of LXC not having the right kernel modules loaded.
So you are going to need to install a few things on the host:
Open virtual switch and ethernet bridge tables (firewall)
sudo apt-get install ebtables openvswitch-common
Then update your /etc/modules to load things into the kernel
# openstack
bonding
q8021q
openvswitch
ebtables
Force them manually
sudo modprobe openvswitch
sudo modprobe ebtables
Now Devstack with Neutron installs fine. Yay!
