My current priority is to port at least enough bits to get usable
/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd on top of unified cgroups, with immediate
benefit of dropping systemd-cgroups-agent and getting release
notifications in containers.

Not sure about transition / re-exec plan, at the moment I am assuming
either/or situation but I guess we'd need to support a dual case,
where upon re-exec we might still be in name=systemd rather than in
the unified structure.
