Unless there are any major objections to this idea, or better ideas
for CGroup users, we will consider proposing a new CGroup controller
for this. The issue with CPU controller CGroups being they may be
configured in a way that is incompatible with tagging.

And I was also thinking of a new clone flag CLONE_CORE (which allows a
child to share a parent's core). This is because the fork-semantics
are not clear and it may be better to leave the behavior of fork to
userspace IMHO than hard-coding policy in the kernel.

Perhaps we can also discuss this at the scheduler MC at Plumbers.

Any other thoughts?

- Joel
