Kay is right; there is no direct replacement. However, it's possible
to fork processes on Linux with many of the same properties as threads
(shared memory and file descriptors). Originally, all POSIX-like
(loosely using "like" here) threads used this capability back with
LinuxThreads. Using clone() that way would allow continued use of
cgroups resources.

Or, perhaps it's a good time to consider a more loosely coupled
architecture with multiple processes or daemons.
