[Lxc-users] [PATCH RFC] cgroups: support cgroups mounted in multiple places

=====================================================================

Mind you, this patch isn't right.  Strace shows it does the right thing
with the cgroups.  Creates new ones for each container.  Moves the
container into them.  But then fails on connecting to the lxc-monitor
socket.  <shrug>  I'm done for tonight, so sending this out in case
anyone wants to review/comment.

=====================================================================

cgroups: support cgroups mounted in multiple places

I.e. with systemd or libcgroup.

The approach is just, instead of looking for a cgroup called 'lxc' or
otherwise taking the first cgroup we find, we actually create a
container in every mounted cgroup fs.  Right now it's done under the
root of each fs.  We may want to put that under lxc, or, better yet,
make that configurable.
