I just want to poke you two to see if you have time to look over this
patch.  There is a real bug in linux-2.6-tip tree.

If I create a CFS cgroup under directory .../parent/cgdir, put one
task under 'parent' with CFS weight 1024, and one task under 'cgdir'
(cgdir has group weight of 1024 also), pin both tasks onto same CPU.
The CPU cycle allocation on these two tasks will be N:1 where N is
number of CPUs in the system.  The expected allocation should be 1:1.
