So this is all quite horrible code, but what I think happens is that:

	sched_cpu_inactive() -> set_cpu_active(cpu, false);
	cpuset_cpu_inactive() -> cpuset_update_active_cpus(false)
	                      -> partition_sched_domains(1, NULL, NULL)
			      -> build_sched_domains(cpu_active_mask)
			      -> for_each_cpu()
			           cpu_attach_domain() -> rq_attach_root()

Now, that will detach all active cpus from the current root domain and
attach them to the new root domain. Which leaves behind the old root
domain attached to only the one 'dead' cpu.
