This is a lot of changes to an already subtle code which hugetlb
reservations undoubly are. Moreover cgroupv1 is feature frozen and I am
not aware of any plans to port the controller to v2. That all doesn't
sound in favor of this change.

Actually "no plan to port the controller to v2" makes the case strong
for these changes (and other new features) to be done in v1. If there
is an alternative solution in v2 then I can understand the push-back
on changes in v1 but that is not the case here.
