Sorry, should have raised these earlier:

* Can we shorten the name to encids?

* Why is .sev a separate namespace? Isn't the controller supposed to cover
  encryption ids across different implementations? It's not like multiple
  types of IDs can be in use on the same machine, right?

I'm not sure this is necessarily a good thing.

I'm curious whether this is necessary given that a css can't be destroyed
while tasks are attached. Are there cases where this wouldn't hold true? If
so, it'd be great to have some comments on how that can happen.

The aboves are stale, right?

Dup with .current and no need to show total on every cgroup, right?

Thanks.
