I found this patch to be extremely useful if it wasn't to break
compatibility but that issue can be resolved by accepting both
formats easly.

A classid is in a fact a set of two 16 bit integers and everyone
is used to the X:Y notation. procfs and sysfs ought to be userfriendly
to a certain degree and adding such a small parser to cls_cgroup
doesn't harm anyone.
