Correct - this particular patch was just addressing one of these.

Nick raised the reasonable concern that this patch was adding something
to cpusets that was not especially related to cpusets.

So I will not be sending this patch to Andrew for *-mm.

There are further opportunities for improvements in some of this code,
which my colleague Christoph Lameter may be taking an interest in.
Ideally kernel-user API's for isolating and partitioning sched domains
would arise from that work, though I don't know if we can wait that
long.
