Sorry, I meant for defining arrays. `state[CGROUP_TAG_END -
CGROUP_TAG_START]` is just more annoying to type and read than
`state[CGROUP_TAG_COUNT]`.

Do you mean like this?

#define SUBSYS_TAG_COUNT(_tag) (CGROUP_ ## _tag ## _END - CGROUP_ ##
_tag ## _START)

That's fine I guess, I just wanted to match CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT in
semantics, but I'll do that if you prefer it that way.
