With libvirt and KVM we require the ability to put different threads in different cgroups for the "cpu", "cpuset" & "cpuacct" controllers. This is to allow us to control schedular tunables / placement for QEMU vCPU threads, independantly of limits for QEMU I/O threads. So requiring all threads of a process to be in the same cgroup isn't sufficiently flexible for our needs. We don't care about this for the other non-CPU related controllers though.
