Sorry I just updated and resent all my outstanding sched fixes.

btw I suppose you missed my reply. Where I provided the reasoning. Also Ingo 
at some point accepted a patch from Peter that partially removed the isolated 
map. This is just more complete version.

Anyway, I do not really care that much for this particular patch. But I do 
care about cpu hotplug / domain handling issues. Can you please look at that 
instead of resending your replies ;-).
I'm talking about
[PATCH] sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created 

by the cpusets

Also please ack (take 3) version of the default irq affinity patch that 
includes your latest comments.

Thanx
Max
