Yeah, I was wondering about local partitions. "Automatic but can be
overridden" behavior becomes confusing if it's difficult for the user to
easily tell which part is automatic when. I wonder whether it'd be better to
make the condition static - e.g. for a partition cgroup, cpus.exclusive
always contains all bits in cpus no matter what value is written to it. Or,
if we separate out cpus.exclusive and cpus.exclusive.effective, no matter
what cpus.exclusive is set, a partition root's cpus.exclusive.effective
always includes all bits in cpus.effective.

Thanks.
