Subject: Work queues and cpu isolation

I have done some reading on the subject of work queues and CPU
isolation, and specifically I've read a number of posts from Max K.
dating back to 2008 on the subject of CPU isolation.  However, I have
not seen much in the way of discussion on the subject in more recent
times, specifically in the 3.x kernels; where it appears there are
some significant differences in the structure of workqueue in general.

Is there anyone currently doing work on additional isolation of CPUs
from work queues? I have some requirement to further isolate cores on
a machine from these queues and am hoping someone here could point me
in the right direction.

Thanks.
