Interesting. I'll try to give it a careful review in the next couple of days.
I've added Jay Lan <jlan@sgi.com> to the cc list. I encourage you to include him on your cc list in the future - thanks. He has expertise in some of SGI's earlier container-like efforts.

thanks ;
Question (perhaps already answered in your code - I haven't looked yet): can loadable kernel modules register containers? I'd like to see at least GPL modules be able to register containers, but I appreciate that this could be a controversial issue. Technically, I am guessing that some EXPORT_GPL_SYMPOL declarations on the necessary container registration routines would provide GPL modules with this capability.
Guess I should read the code ...
