I agree. Performance is my concern too.
I made a patch below and measured the time(average of 10 times) of kernel build
on tmpfs(make -j8 on 8 CPU machine with 2.6.33 defconfig).
<before>
- root cgroup: 190.47 sec
- child cgroup: 192.81 sec
<after>
- root cgroup: 191.06 sec
- child cgroup: 193.06 sec
Hmm... about 0.3% slower for root, 0.1% slower for child.

From: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@....nes.nec.co.jp>
In current implementation, we don't have to disable irq at lock_page_cgroup()
because the lock is never acquired in interrupt context.
But we are going to do it in later patch, so this patch encloses all of
lock_page_cgroup()/unlock_page_cgroup() with irq_disabled()/irq_enabled().
