[RFC PATCH 08/12] housekeeping: Introduce housekeeping flags

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue Aug 22 2017 - 21:53:02 EST


Before we implement isolcpus under housekeeping, we need the isolation
features to be more finegrained. For example some people want nohz_full
without the full scheduler isolation, others want full scheduler
isolation without nohz_full.

So let's cut all these isolation features piecewise, at the risk of
overcutting it right now. We can still merge some flags later if they
always make sense together.
