[Devel] [PATCH RFC v0 1/3] cgroup: implement eventfd-based generic API for notifications

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

This patch introduces write-only file "cgroup.event_control" in every
cgroup.

To register new notification handler you need:
- create an eventfd;
- open a control file to be monitored. Callbacks register_event() and
  unregister_event() must be defined for the control file;
- write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
  Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;

eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
cgroup is removed.

To unregister notification handler just close eventfd.
