How about this patch:

[PATCH] cgroups: fix documentation about remount

This won't remove cpuacct from the mounted hierachy:
 # mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuacct xxx /mnt
 # mount -o remount,cpu /mnt

Because for this usage mount(8) will append the new options to the current
options.

And this will get you right:
 # mount [-t cgroup] -o remount,cpu xxx /mnt

 To change the set of subsystems bound to a mounted hierarchy, just
 remount with different options:
+# mount -o remount,cpuset,ns hier1 /dev/cgroup
 
-# mount -o remount,cpuset,ns  /dev/cgroup

 Note that changing the set of subsystems is currently only supported
 when the hierarchy consists of a single (root) cgroup. Supporting
