Frederic, don't get me wrong, but when I've tried cgroups and freezer for
first time (and I did it not by any script but by hands rather) it makes
me scream out that once I've moved a number of tasks to some freezer cgroup
now I need to move them back again. Of course there is a way to write some
script of whatever but I thought we had some echo -1 shortcut. Anyway,
I can live with it ;)
