I don't see any other use of cgroup-tools in testing/selftests.

I *DO* see a ton of /bin/bash use though.  I wouldn't go to much trouble
to make the thing ash-compatible.

That said, the most important thing is to get some selftests in place.
If using cgroup-tools means we get actual, runnable tests in place,
that's a heck of a lot more important than making them perfect.
Remember, almost nobody uses SGX.  It's available on *VERY* few systems
from one CPU vendor and only in very specific hardware configurations.
