Have you posted the cpuset implementation over your system yet?

The drawback to that is that every subsystem has to add a dentry to
its state, and handle the processing.

OK, I see your argument that putting it in the aggregator probably
isn't the best thing to do from a space point of view in the case when
the number of aggregators

This seems like a place where my container_subsys_state object is
useful - it can store a pointer to the container object (and be
maintained by the generic container system), at a space cost of 1
pointer per subsystem grouping, rather than N pointers per aggregator.
