I think x86-defconfig should be usable by itself - not just via the
somewhat obscure combination of:

make defconfig
make kvm_guest.config

right?

Systemd is rather negative about missing cgroup features - at a point it
used to insert 30(?) seconds delays during bootup warning about missing
cgroups support, etc.

Also the main Debian derived distros (Ubuntu, etc.) plus Debian itself has
most of cgroups enabled - so why should we test something that very few
users are using?

Thanks,

Ingo
