This looks like it's creating a larger problem than it's fixing, it's
not our job to maintain the dirty bitmap regardless of what the user
does.  If the user detaches the last group in a container causing the
mappings within that container to be deconstructed before the user has
collected dirty pages, that sounds like a user error.  A container with
no groups is de-privileged and therefore loses all state.  Thanks,

Alex
