That's correct, the ZVC values from each node assigned to a particular 
cpuset is used to determine the dirty ratios.  We don't currently have the 
infrastructure to do that with any other cgroup.

So extracting this out to a separate cgroup is fine, but it's still only 
applicable to cpusets at this time.  Let me know what the prerequisites 
are for -mm inclusion.
