OK, I was going to advice using cgroupstats for notification.
cgroupstats builds on top of taskstats

Please see

1. Documentation/accounting/*
2. kernel/taskstats.c

getdelays.c (available under (1)) provides the user space application
to make use of taskstats and cgroupstats.

Using that will allow you to

1. Provide type information with every event (extensible)
2. Reuses existing well tested code in the form of genetlink and
netlink
