cgroupfs has no device nodes. So as long as we are consistent in any
given release what happens here is orthogonal.

I don't remember if we have managed to get the original problem fixed
with the trivial backportable solution. I think so.

My apologies for not getting to that I haven't even had time to shepherd
through the regression associated regression fix. I probably just lock
track of them but I haven't found the Tested-By's for it yet.

Nor have I had time to dig through and figure out how to safely deal
with umount -l aka MOUNT_DETACH.

Along with the question about what to do with nodev, there is also
your patch about nosuid.

Starting in about 5 minutes I am going to be mostly offline until
sometime in the 3rd week in November as I haul all of my stuff accross
the country to someplace that actually has winter and my allergies don't
kill me.

I am going to have to review and merge a lot of code as soon as I am
back to being a programmer full time again. There is a lot of
interesting stuff coming in right now.
