Hmm, this is not clear to me. Are you intending to remove the name=

in remounts?

systemd uses name=systemd to get its own private cgroup tree, that has
no controller bound, hence we kinda need this option. Or are you
suggesting there was an other way to get a private cgroup tree that
systemd can use for grouping and labelling things?

Eh, you're right.  I want to remove support for duplicate mounting by
name or subsys as it just isn't necessary, so what I want is,

* "mount -t cgroupfs -o SUBSYS" will fail if SUBSYS is already mounted
  somewhere else.

* "mount -t cgroupfs -o none" will always create a new cgroup
  hierarchy w/o any controller attached.

I didn't realize that the mount code didn't allow none w/o name and
now I don't see a non-intrusive way to remove the name option. :( Eh
well, I'll drop that part.

Thanks.
