You don't need to change anything to mount with 2 cgroup subsystems:

# mount -t cgroup -o cpu,cpuacct xxx /mnt

But you may want to revise and make use of the subsys->bind() callback, which
is called at mount/remount/umount when we attach/remove a controller to/from
a hierarchy. It's the place you can check if two controllers are going to
be comounted/seperated.
