could you just try this and send an as simple patch as possible? This is
actually something that non-container people would be interested in as
well. (btw., if this goes into 2.6.23 then we cannot possibly turn it
off in 2.6.24, so it must be sane - but per UID task groups are
certainly sane, the only question is how to configure the per-UID weight
after bootup. [the default after-bootup should be something along the
lines of 'same weight for all users, a bit more for root'.]) This would
make it possible for users to test that thing. (it would also help
X-heavy workloads.)
