Subject: [PATCH 1/2] show isolated cpus in sysfs

From: Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>

After system bootup, there is no totally reliable way to see
which CPUs are isolated, because the kernel may modify the
CPUs specified on the isolcpus= kernel command line option.

Export the CPU list that actually got isolated in sysfs,
specifically in the file /sys/devices/system/cpu/isolated

This can be used by system management tools like libvirt,
openstack, and others to ensure proper placement of tasks.
