What is infeasible about providing a fork of the userspace tools (free, top, atop, etc.) that reads from the right cgroup filesystem instead?

It's possible, but only part of a possible solution. Those tools still would need a (standard) place to read cgroup specific data from inside the container.

I think the key is just this bit & wanting to develop standards in the Linux container community.
