Subject: [RFC][mm] [PATCH 4/4] Memory cgroup hierarchy feature selector (v3)


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 the cgroup for which the
feature this is enabled, has no children.
