This allows users to dynamically adjust their limits based on how many

failure since the limit was reset (which was the original semantics of
the patchset).
Isn't that trivially achievable by reading the counter and then
calculating the diff? I don't think it matters all that much whether
the log message is printed once per cgroup or per config-change. It's
just a hint for the admin to avoid setting her off on a wild goose
chase.
