I did not necessarily word this very clearly. What I meant is that
/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max is essentially an external limiting factor that
caps the total number of pids that can be under the root cgroup and it's
children, not that the cgroup in any way payed attention to it. It might be
useful to be able to just disable the sysctl option and set the value
through the root cgroup, solely or consistency, although such usage isn't
something I would consider essential in any way.

Maybe this is something that can be reviewed as a separate patchset to this
one? I'd much prefer that we actually get per-cgroup process limiting merged
first, then deal with such features separately.
My thought exactly.
