I don't have an answer for that but cgroup isn't a place to put such
stray configurations either.  Please figure out where the
configuration belongs first.  What you're proposing really isn't a
resource controller.  There's no resource being distributed
hierarchically.  It's just dumping configuration which hasn't found
its proper place into cgroup.

Thanks.
