At this point, I'm very unsure that doing this as a cgroup controller
is a good direction.  From userland interface standpoint, publishing a
cgroup controller is a big commitment.  It is true that we haven't
been doing a good job of gatekeeping or polishing controller
interfaces but we're trying hard to change that and what's being
proposed in this thread doesn't really seem to be mature enough.  It's
not even clear what's being identified as resources here are things
that the users would actually care about or if it's even possible to
implement sensible resource control in the kernel via the proposed
resource restrictions.

So, I'd suggest going back to the board and figuring out what the
actual resources are, their distribution strategies should be and at
which layer such strategies can be implemented best.

Thanks.
