Guess I'll be adding comments as soon as I stumble on something unclear
(to me :), hope that's OK (shout if I should do it differently).

The below looked unexpected to me:

root@debian-kvm:/sys/fs/cgroup# cat g1/cpuset.cpus
2-3
root@debian-kvm:/sys/fs/cgroup# cat g1/cpuset.mems

root@debian-kvm:~# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/g1/cgroup.threads
root@debian-kvm:/sys/fs/cgroup# cat g1/cgroup.threads
2312

So I can add tasks to groups with no mems? Or is it this only true in my
case with a single mem node? Or maybe it's inherited from root group
(slightly confusing IMHO if that's the case).
