[PATCH 11/12] housekeeping: Add basic isolcpus flags

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue Oct 24 2017 - 09:08:00 EST


Add flags to control nohz and domain isolations from "isolcpus=", in
order to centralize the isolation features to a common interface. Domain
isolation remains the default so not to break the existing isolcpus
boot paramater behaviour.

Further flags in the future may include 0hz (1hz tick offload) and timers,
workqueue, RCU, kthread, watchdog, likely all merged together in a
common flag ("async"?). In any case, this will have to be modifiable by
cpusets.
