We need to make a choice then. Either we do all the affinity tuning from
userspace with a common tool, which is what I had wished before everybody
asked for pre-settings.

Or we do it in the kernel, now we should define some kind of CONFIG_ISOLATION
to make that proper and rule the various kinds of isolation people are
interested in.

But we can't leave it half-way like it is currently with everything preset on
top of nohz: rcu nocb mask, watchdog mask, cpu_isolation_map and exclude workqueue.
