see: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/22/384 and: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/commit/?id=77d5f105bf63330350c7bddacdeda914f945590f We really shouldn't be asking userspace to create new root filesystems. So follow along with all of the other in-kernel filesystems, and provide a mount point in sysfs. For cgroupfs, this should be in /sys/fs/cgroup/ This change provides that mount point when the cgroup filesystem is registered in the kernel.
