I hope we could avoid this dynamic decision. That was one of the main
reasons behind doing the cftype thing. It's better to be able to
"declare" these kind of things rather than being able to implement
fully flexible dynamic logic. Too much flexibility often doesn't
achieve much while being a hindrance to evolution of code base (trying
to improve / simplify X - ooh... there's this single wacko corner case
YYY here which is really different from all other users).

really_do_swap_account can't change once booted, right? Why not just
separate out memsw cfts into a separate array and call
cgroup_add_cftypes() from init path? Can't we do that from
enable_swap_cgroup()?

Thanks.
