Note that in the long run I'd really like to see functionality added to
move a full cgroup subtree to a different point in the tree, so that we
can migrate containers and such atomically from one partition to
another, without the container having to be aware of this (which of
course implies that we have a somewhat more useful cgroup namespacing
solution in place).
