Hi!
I've added some extra folks on the To: list to solicit feedback on this
idea since something similar was done via

3958e2d0c34e1 cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable
01ee6cfb1483f cgroup: export list of delegatable control files using sysfs
5f2e673405b74 cgroup: export list of cgroups v2 features using sysfs

Thank you for you time!
