Yeah but it also shows up as an integral part of stable interface
rather than e.g. /sys/kernel/debug.  This isn't of any interest to
people who aren't developing cgroup core code.  There is no reason to
risk growing dependencies on it.

Yeah, I think that'd be a good idea.  cgroup_debug should do.  While
at it, can you also please make CGROUP_DEBUG depend on DEBUG_KERNEL?

Thanks.
