also shorten the comment when sending a v2, either omit it as its clear what happens
and this is not a manual edge case like "lxc" (which is not handled by our API).
If use a short "ensure to restore privileged level if not overwritten", but its just
redundant..

1. seems like a pretty long line, is this under the 100 cc max?

2. should the check be: !defined($unprivileged) && defined($orig_conf->{unprivileged});

3. nit: we normally use parentheses for defined()
