The cpuset interface documentation says cpuset.cpus.isolated is empty
unless an isolated partition exists, omitting CPUs isolated at boot with
isolcpus=domain. Its cpuset.cpus.effective description also assumes CPUs
come from the immediate parent and are normally a subset of
cpuset.cpus, which is not always true for valid non-root partition roots.

Update both descriptions to match the existing behavior.

The behavior of cpuset partitions have evolved over time and the documentation doesn't fully reflect the current behavior. Your 2 docs patch look good so far and I am looking forward to your v2 patches.

Cheers,
Longman
