Yang gave this patch to me :)
I'm plan to continue this function.

Currently, old stats are put in cpuacct, if we put new stats into cpu side,
we have following way:

1: Only put new stats into cpu side, and don't change old interface,
   we'll see following content in cgroup dir:
   /cgroup/cpuacct:
     cpuacct.usage
     cpuacct.usage_percpu
   /cgroup/cpu:
     cpu.usage_sys
     cpu.usage_percpu_sys
     cpu.usage_user
     cpu.usage_percpu_user
   It is obviously not unify.
2: Move old stats into cpu side, and add new stats:
   we'll see following content in cgroup dir:
   /cgroup/cpuacct:
     [NONE]
   /cgroup/cpu:
     cpu.usage
     cpu.usage_percpu
     cpu.usage_sys
     cpu.usage_percpu_sys
     cpu.usage_user
     cpu.usage_percpu_user
   It have compatibility issues with old system.
3: Clone old stats into cpu side(share one copy of code), and add new stats
   Into cpu side, we'll see following content in cgroup dir:
   /cgroup/cpuacct:
     cpuacct.usage
     cpuacct.usage_percpu
   /cgroup/cpu:
     cpu.usage
     cpu.usage_percpu
     cpu.usage_sys
     cpu.usage_percpu_sys
     cpu.usage_user
     cpu.usage_percpu_user
   It can support both old and new systems, and we can remove old interface
   in future, but we if mount both cpu and cpuacct into same dir,
   we'll see following duplicated files:
   /cgroup/cpu,cpuacct
     cpu.usage
     cpuacct.usage
     cpu.usage_percpu
     cpuacct.usage_percpu
     ...

Maybe above way3 looks having less defect, cound you talk about
your opinion on it.

Thanks
