Say an RT scenario; you set up your machine with cgroups. You create a
cpuset with is disjoint from the others, you frob around with the cpu
cgroup, etc..

So once you're all done, you start your RT app into a cgroup.

But oh, fail, now you have to go muck about with ioctl()s to get the
cache allocation cruft to work.
