Subject: [mm] [PATCH 4/4] Memory cgroup hierarchy feature selector


Don't enable multiple hierarchy support by default. This patch introduces
a features element that can be set to enable the nested depth hierarchy
feature. This feature can only be enabled when there is just one cgroup
(the root cgroup).
