I see, basically I understand your proposal as utilize cpuacct's runtime
and only expose per-cgroup local/remote counters, I'm not sure if the
locality still helpful after decouple time factor from it, both need some
investigation, anyway, once I could convince myself it's working, I'll
be happy to make things simple ;-)
