Right, but the accounting is very much tied to the control structures, I
suppose we could change that, but my jet-leg addled brain isn't seeing
anything particularly nice atm.

But I don't really see the point though, this kind of interface would
only ever work for the non-controlling and controlling controller
combination (confused yet ;-), and I don't think we have many of those.

I would really rather see a simplification of the entire cgroup
interface space as opposed to making it more complex. And adding this
subtree 'feature' only makes it more complex.
