  Agreed, I was surpized by this at first.

Went though the patch  my only remarks are
  rc = killedAny ? 1 : 0;
is overkill since killedAny values seems only 0 or 1 anyway
and the loop for virCgroupKillPainfully looks a bit arbitrary,
sending 15 signals to all looks a lot, and the delay for the loop
a bit short, if there is like a hundred processes in that group that
could be a bit heavy, isn't it ?
