Even if the resource control portions aren't totally compatible,
having two separate process container abstractions in the kernel is
sub-optimal, both in terms of efficiency and userspace management. How
about splitting out the container portions of cpuset from the actual
resource control, so that CKRM/RG can hang off of it too? Creation of
a cpuset or a resource group would be driven by creation of a
container; at fork time, a task inherits its parent's container, and
hence its cpuset and/or resource groups.

At its most crude, this could be something like:

struct container {
#ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS
struct cpuset cs;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_RES_GROUPS
struct resource_group rg;
#endif
};

but at least it would be sharing some of the abstractions.
