And what about put the management of containers outside the kernel. We could for exemple use a program that will listen file /proc/acct_event and execute a programs to handle the event like ACPID does. Of course it will need some kernel modifications but those modifications will be small as process aggregation will be done outside the kernel. We could also use relayfs to exchange datas between user program and the kernel.
