The problem with VLAN is that the user still has to manually create the
vlan interface on the host. Then the generated configuration will use
it as a nerwork hostdev device. So the generated configurations of the
following two fragments are equivalent (see rhbz#1059637).

lxc.network.type = phys
lxc.network.link = eth0.5

lxc.network.type = vlan
lxc.network.link = eth0
lxc.network.vlan.id = 5
