Yeah, cgroup.events and .stat files as some of the local stats would
be useful too, so if we don't flip memory.events we'll end up with sth
like cgroup.events.local, memory.events.tree and memory.stats.local,
which is gonna be hilarious.

If you aren't willing to change your mind, the only option seems to be
introducing a mount option to gate the flip and additions of local
files. Most likely, userspace will enable the option by default
everywhere, so the end result will be exactly the same but I guess
it'll better address your concern.

Thanks.
