How above number is selected ?

maybe css[i]'s lower 2-3 bits will be ignored. because thery are always 0.

And I don't like "+" for hash. how about
==
	for (i = 0; i < CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT; i++)
	unsigned long x;
	x = (unsigned long)css[i];
	tmp = (x >> 16) ^ (x & 0xffff)
==
or some func, which uses full bits.

This css_set_lock is worth to be rwlock ?
how about per hashline spinlock ? (but per-hashline seems overkill..)

Thanks,
