I do need to make cpuset v2 enabled ASAP. This will give me more times to work on extending partition to be hierarchical if the need arises as well as other cpuset v2 features. We usually can't get all the things right in one single step. Peter, are you OK with that? I can promise you that I will work to make this happen at a later date if you really want it.
