Hmm. I find it hard to believe that anyone would have behaviour that
depends on cpuset.memory_pressure returning EACCES rather than EINVAL,
but I guess it's not a big deal.

On the += or |= issue, I think |= is slightly more familiar to most
readers given that you're doing bit options, although the end result
is the same in this case.
