IMHO, name= option is good because people think device name for pseudo file
system has no meanings. I think just leaving it as "no meaning" is better.

I don't like long names but....isn't this too short ? How about NAME_MAX ?

If you don't want to make cgroupfs_root bigger,

	cgroupfs_root {
		......
		/* this must be the bottom of struct */
		char name[0];
	}

Is a choice.

BTW, reading a patch, any kind of charactors are allowed ?
