Good idea.

You (Li Zefan) might want to resend this as a patch, in case Andrew
doesn't happen to see this embedded here.

Something like the following:

  Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: document zero pid means current task

  From: Li Zefan <lizf at cn.fujitsu.com>

  Document that a pid of zero(0) can be used to refer to the
  current task when attaching a task to a cgroup, as in the
  following usage:
  
    # echo 0 > /dev/cgroup/tasks

  This is consistent with existing cpuset behavior.
