+ * cgroups: Fix how we setup and configure cgroups on hosts with systemd
+
+ When libvirt is running on host with systemd we register every VM with
+ machined which creates the VM root cgroup for us as well. Before this fix
+ we were directly modifying files in the VM root cgroup which was incorrect
+ because all the files are managed by systemd. The implication was that any
+ change done by libvirt to cgroup attributes supported by systemd could be
+ removed which happens for example by running ``systemctl daemon-reload``.
+
+ To fix the issue libvirt now uses DBus calls for some of the cgroup
+ attributes that distributes the resources proportionally to the cgroup
+ siblings and for the rest we have new sub-cgroup that libvirt can managed
+ directly.
+
+ For more details why this is necessary see
+ `systemd cgroug <https://systemd.io/CGROUP_DELEGATION/>`_ documentation.
