In the new interface, hierarchy setup and controller configuration are
two separate steps.  Creating subhierarchy doesn't enable controller
automatically and as long as specific controllers are concerned
nothing changes when subhierarchy is created and processes are moved
inbetween them.  If control over specific resources is necessary in a
given hierarchy, the matching controllers should be enabled
explicitly.
