The latter - the container system is meant to be able to supportmore
than just resource controllers.

I'd say that we should try to create a fresh hierarchy with just the
nsproxy subsystem on it. Otherwise if someone tries to mount the
nsproxy subsystem later, we end up with some namespaces with no
container.

This looks great - I'll incorporate it or something like it in my next
patch set.
