these are std linux capabilities, so you can look at any documentation related to it,
plus comments in kernel in include/linux/capability.h and kernel sources.

it is a restricted subset of CAP_SYS_ADMIN+CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for VE root.
it allows to do a lot of thing allowed for std root, like configuring firewalls,
network devices, etc. but not everything, e.g. VE root can't change mtrr registers,
can't issue raw SCSI commands, etc.

Thanks,
Kirill
