I think FLAT mode is the dafault. 'heararchical' is a crazy thing which
cannot be managed.

Better pay attention to the current overall cgroups discussions being 
held by Tejun then. ([RFD] cgroup: about multiple hierarchies)

The topic of whether of adapting all cgroups to be hierarchical by 
deafult is a recurring one.
