I disable CGROUP, but enable GROUP_SCHED and USER_SCHED. My config inherits from old config
files.

CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y
# CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is not set
CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED is not set

I check defconfig on x86-64 of 2.6.28 and it does enable CGROUP and disable USER_SCHED.

Perhaps I need change my latest config file to the default on sched options.
