The idea for v2 is that in the root cgroup remain only kernel threads that
provide "global" services and any user workload that should be
constrained is put into non-root cgroups. Additionally, if kernel
threads carry out work associated with a cgroup they can charge it to
the respective cgroup.

Cui bono? (I mean what is the reason for throttling on the global level
when there's no other entity utiliting the residual?
