The current CPUsets code supports hierarchies, and I believe that
there are people out there who depend on them (right, PaulJ?) Since
CPUsets are at heart a form of resource controller, it would be nice
to have them use the same resource control infrastructure as other
resource controllers (see the generic container patches that I sent
out as an example of this). So that would be at least one user that
requires a hierarchy.

Yes. For example a common usage pattern has the system admin carve
off a big chunk of CPUs and Memory Nodes into a cpuset for the batch
scheduler to manage, within which the batch scheduler creates child
cpusets, roughly one for each job under its control.

Hmm, ok. If someone is actually using it I'd say let's go ahead and implement
it now.
