The use case Christoph described was an user-space number cruncher app
that does some network I/O over RDMA IIRC. AFAICT, if he could isolate
a physical CPU for the thing, there would be little or no
communication with the non-isolated part. Yes, the setup sounds weird
but it's a real workload although pretty damn specialized.
