Personally for ChromeOS, we need only the per-task interface. Considering
that the second argument of this prctl is a command, I don't see why we
cannot add a new command PR_SCHED_CORE_CGROUP_SHARE to do what Tejun is
saying (in the future).

In order to not block ChromeOS and other "per-task interface" usecases, I
suggest we keep the CGroup interface for a later time (whether that's
through prctl or the CGroups FS way which Tejun dislikes) and move forward
with per-task interface only initially.

Peter, any thoughts on this?

thanks,

- Joel
