I personally think this is namespaces business, not cgroups.
If you have a process namespace, an interface that works to limit the 
number of processes should keep working given the constraints you are 
given.

What doesn't make sense, is to create a *new* interface to limit 
something that doesn't really need to be limited, just because you
limited a similar resource before.
