So I guess fc_app_id.

If I understand correctly, your only objection is that you'd rather not
have it specified with a file under /sys/kernel/cgroup, and instead you
would prefer to have it implemented as a ioctl for a magic file
somewhere else in sysfs? I don't think there is any precedent for this,
and I'm not even sure where that sysfs file would be.
