So nohz is really just a feature and it shouldn't decide about other isolation features. It should be the opposite: isolation picks up nohz, alongside other isolation things. I think we did a layering misdesign. So it's mostly just a code reorganisation.
While at it, isolcpus= is also part of the isolation toolset. So I thought we should centralize all this isolation code in a common subsystem.
