Now, I have a different idea. How about we add a special root-only knob,
say, "cpuset.cpus.isolated" that contains the list of CPUs that are
still owned by root, but not participated in load balancing. All the
tasks in the root are load-balanced among the remaining CPUs.

A child can then be created that hold some or all the CPUs in the
isolated set. It will then have a separate root domain if load balancing
is on, or an isolated cpuset if load balancing is off.

Will that idea work?

Cheers,
Longman
