The cgroup.api file isn't meant to give complete documentation for a
control file, simply a brief indication of its usage.

The aim is that most bits of the information reported in cgroup.api
are auto-generated, so there shouldn't be problems with it getting
out-of-date.

Is it just the space used by the documentation string that you're
objecting to? The other function of the file is to declare a type for
each variable.
