The controller name is "debug". So it is pretty obvious what it is for.
However, the config prompt of "Example controller" is indeed a bit
vague. So I think we can make the prompt more descriptive here. As for
boot param, are you saying something like "cgroup_debug" has to be
specified in the command line also to have this controller activated
even if the CGROUP_DEBUG config parameter is specified? I am fine with
that if you think it is necessary.
