Sure, it *can* be mounted as a single instance, but you then lose
flexibility. E.g. at Google we want to have a different hierarchy for
the CPU subsystem (with the tree grouped according to
latency-sensitive versus batch, etc) and memory (grouped according to
what jobs are sharing memory with each other).

I have no particular expectation. (At Google we're actually using
/dev/cgroup/* but that's just for historical reasons, from
/dev/cpuset). Under /sys/fs/cgroup sounds reasonable, but you'd want
people to have the ability to manually create subdirs in there for
separate mount points.
