In order to get one virtual slice of device per container I just need the device's driver to support that or I need to have a layer on top of the driver that partitions the device. As the different cgroups have the same kernel and thus the same set of drivers I see no advantage in splitting physical devices. What am I missing?

The master device has the facility to create the subdevices which look like onrmal devices with soem config options missing.

I am not convinced that this is what they are talking about though...
