Nope, as I wrote in the other reply, for cpu and cpuacct, either just
merge them or kill cpuacct if you want to avoid silliness from walking
multiple times.  Does cpuset cause problem in this regard too?  Or can
it be handled similarly to other controllers?

I think the confusion here is that we're talking about two different
issues.  As for cpuacct, I can see why strict co-mounting can be
attractive but then again if that's gonna be required, there's no
point in having them separate, right?  If that's the way you want it,
just trigger WARN_ON() if cpu and cpuacct aren't co-mounted and later
on kill cpuacct.

Thanks.
