Ingo, Peter, what do you guys think?  If you guys are okay with the
changes, how do you want to route the patches?  Given that it's mostly
cgroup-specific and there are more cgroup changes depending on these,
it'd be the easiest to route these through the cgroup tree but putting
it elsewhere and pulling into cgroup is fine too.

Thanks.
