Not expecting any enthusiasm, but this is _one_ way to let nohz=off go
away, and gives a little more control to users who have to provide a
home for jitter intolerant applications.

It's not very pretty, but is pretty convenient.

sched, cpusets: "HPC" cpusets extension

Give the user the ability to dynamically influence scheduler behavior
through "HPC" cpusets.

When enabled, the user can dynamically inform the scheduler that a
cpuset cannot tolerate jitter induced by NO_HZ, jiffies update, and
RT load balancing locic.  A large generic machine can re-partition
to service transient jitter sensitive loads without requiring the
entire machine to run nohz=off continuously.

Should the user invalidate "HPC" prerequisites, modifiers are self
canceling for safety reasons.  Prerequisites are: the set may not
contain CPU0, must be cpu exclusive (obviously), and must be fully
disconnected from scheduler domains.
