Urgh... I really think subsystems which aren't very isolated should
have its own tree.  Going through -mm works well if the changes are
isolated or all inter-dependent changes go through -mm too but it
stops working as soon as the changes start span across other git
trees.  If cgroup isn't expected to see a lot of changes in this cycle
(if so, please set up a git tree, it isn't difficult), the best
solution, I think, would be sticking w/ Rafael's branch.

Thanks.
