Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] cpuset: Allow to modify isolcpus through cpuset

The fact that "isolcpus=" behaviour can't be modified at runtime is an
eternal source of discussion and debate opposing a useful feature against
a terrible interface.

I've long since tried to figure out a proper way to control this at
runtime using cpusets, which isn't easy as a boot time single cpumask
is difficult to map to a hierarchy of cpusets that can even overlap.

The idea here is to map the boot-set isolation behaviour to any cpuset
directory whose cpumask is a subset of "isolcpus=". I let you browse
for details on the last patch.

Note this is still WIP and half-baked, but I figured it's important to
validate the interface early.
