Hello.

I can see a problem already -- as a CPU can be dynamically switched to
"isolated" mode so should all dependent operations support that (switch)
too, i.e. the CPUs local PCP caches would have to be drained when the
CPU enters isolation.

It'd be nice to have both (cpuset and cmdline flags) eventually unified.

Alas, it only leads me conservatively to:

#ifndef CONFIG_CPUSETS
// the proposed implementaion
else
static inline bool cpu_is_isolated(int cpu) {
return true;
}
#endif

My 0.02€,
