Well, it is the case that libvirt does use it, and libvirt is used pretty widely (or so it seems to me). I don't use it (cpusets or libvirt :) either, but it seems like we should either tell libvirt directly that cpusets are inappropriate for their use-case (once we figure out what exactly that is, and why they chose cpusets) or work with them to support their use-case?
