The patch didn't suffer any change in its last 2 iteractions, so I was
just waiting for someone to apply =p (or well, say something)

It re-uses the infrastructure that you built in cgroup.c to detect
comounting, so it does not use bind.

I must add that I used bind just because "it was already there", and at
the time we were also quite concerned about not increasing even more the
number of callbacks. It is a horrible interface IMHO.
