I have a small (and not-yet-working) patch that uses libcgroup[1] to
setup a cgroup per container. This provides the ability to enforce the
<memory> quantity on the group through memory.limit_in_bytes. I've also
got some stubs that I plan to use to provide access to cpu.shares
through the scheduling parameters interface.

Adding this functionality to what I have should be rather trivial, I
think.
I'm still working with the libcgroup folks to get some kinks ironed out,
but I will post the patches when we get something that works against
some version of libcgroup.

I just checked the libcgroup heaer file available under Fedora 9 and
I'm a bit afraid of the dependancy. They expose a lot of structure, some
clearly incomplete, which means liking to it in its current state may
turn into a problematic dependency.
Maybe I need to look further, but really all those structures should
be hidden and accessors should be provided at the API level. I made that
mistake in libxml2, and still have the scars !
