Started playing with it, but only really to see what breaks so far.

Right.

That's something that's going to need to be subsystem-specific, I
think. For something like cpusets, that already handles restricting a
child to be a subset of a parent, this should be automatic. There's
already talk of adding hierarchy to resource counters, which would
theoretically solve the problem for all resource counter users.
