We decided a long time ago that a container was basically just a set of namespaces, which includes all of the subsystems you mention. This would suggesting re-write this patchset, part 2 as a "CPUSet namespace", part 4 as a "CPU scheduling namespace", parts 5 and 6 as "Resource Limits Namespace" (drop this "BeanCounter" brand), and of course part 7 falls away.
