So if I understand you correctly, then you want a mechanism to have groups
of entities (tasks, cpus) and associate them to a particular resource
control group.

So they share the CLOSID of the control group and each entity group can
have its own RMID.

Now you want to be able to move the entity groups around between control
groups without losing the RMID associated to the entity group.

So the whole picture would look like this:

rdt ->  CTRLGRP -> CLOSID

mon ->  MONGRP  -> RMID
   
And you want to move MONGRP from one CTRLGRP to another.

Can you please write up in a abstract way what the design requirements are
that you need. So far we are talking about implementation details and
unspecfied wishlists, but what we really need is an abstract requirement.

Thanks,
