When "-o" option for force online/offline is used with command: perf-profile set-config-level If the config level calls for CPU 0 online/offline, then call fails as there is special kernel setup required for CPU 0 online/offline and the currently not setup for that. But when call is for online CPU 0, then don't fail. Just warn that this system is not setup for CPU 0 online/offline.
