I don't see any description of how hugetlb_cgroup currently acts wrt 
reparenting in the last patch in the series and how this is the same or 
different for reservations.  I think the discussion that is referenced 
here is probably lost in some previous posting of the series.  I think 
it's particularly useful information that the end user will need to know 
about for its handling so it would benefit from some documentation in the 
last patch.
