The taking CPUs away part is not functioning yet in the current patchset. It is certainly doable. I just need more time to work on that. The current patchset is fine if partition is restricted to the first level children as CPU online/offline is properly handled by the patchset. It is in the non-root level that taking CPUs away from a partition can be problematic.
