When I use the search function in "make menuconfig" I don't see any mention of MEMCG, so I suspect that particular config item must be enabled by some other config option that I didn't enable (though I don't remember making that decision one way or the other). I'm running gentoo-sources-3.14.42, so you can see I've become almost as grumpy as Volker in my dotage ;)
