This allows one subsystem to require that it only be mounted when some
other subsystems are also present in the proposed hierarchy.

For example if subsystem foo depends on bar, the following will fail:
 # mount -t cgroup -ofoo xxx /dev/cgroup

You should mount with both subsystems:
 # mount -t cgroup -ofoo,bar xxx /dev/cgroup
