Sounds good, and I wrote a prototype in a quick:

-------
for the example about swap controller and memory controller:

static int swap_cgroup_can_mount(struct cgroup_subsys *ss,
unsigned long subsys_bits)
{
if (!test_bit(mem_cgroup_subsys_id, &subsys_bits))
return -EINVAL;
return 0;
}
'mem_cgroup_subsys_id' is a member of enum cgroup_subsys_id defined in cgroup.h
