Yes. But, it would provide the same functionality that you want (i.e
limit only CPU and no other resources).

I take it that you are suggesting that the controller can use barrier as
guarantee.

I don't see how it will work. charge_beancounter() returns -ENOMEM even
when the group is over its barrier (when queried with strict ==
UB_BARRIER).

I have to see the oomguarpatches patches for understanding this, I
suppose.
