Ok, that's great, but it's not where the distros are starting to mount
it at.  As I learned with debugfs, you need to pick a location for
people to mount it at, otherwise it ends up all over the place.

If you are using /dev/cgroup/ that's nice, but I don't think that people
are expecting a whole filesystem under a /dev/ subdirectory.

I didn't realize that cgroupfs had so many different options that would
enable it to handle multiple mounts in this way.

Hm, Lennart, Kay, any ideas as to where to put it in a "standard" way?

thanks,
