I suggested the seperate controller in the review of the patchset so I 
obviously agree with your conclusion.  I don't think we should account for 
hugetlb pages in memory.usage_in_bytes and enforce memory.limit_in_bytes 
since 512 4K pages is not the same as 1 2M page which may be a sacred 
resource if fragmentation is high.

Many thanks to Aneesh for continuing to update the patchset and working 
toward a resolution on this, I love the direction its taking.
