Yes, that is true. The simplest way to do that is to offline the CPUs to 
be isolated, change the housekeeping masks and then online those CPUs 
again. That is good for managing a single isolated partition. However, 
Daniel had told me that CPU hotplug code could cause latency spike in 
existing isolated CPUs. That could be a problem if we have more than one 
isolated partitions to manage. So more investigation will be needed in this.

This is still the direction we are going initially, but first we need to 
enable dynamic changes to the housekeeping masks first.
