Well, actually I see it as follow:
cgroup mount point
libvirt subdirectory (all libvirt management)
driver subdirectory (all guests tied to one driver)
VM subdirectory (all processes tied to one guest)
vcpu subdirectory (all processes tied to one VCPU of a guest) & hypervisor subdirectory
So I think the name is fine. What do you think?
Now, I didn't change anything here. But if you insist, I think we can discuss it farther.

I report an error here, please refer to my new patches.
Thanks. :)
