OK, definitely an alternative worth considering, but the trade-off is
lazy building (your suggestion), which involves actively seeing the
usage of all cgroups (and if they are large, O(c), c is number of
cgroups can be quite a bit) versus building the tree as and when the
fault occurs and controlled by some interval.
