How about we add a special root-only knob, say, "cpuset.cpus.isolated" that contains the list of CPUs that are still owned by root, but not participated in load balancing. All the tasks in the root are load-balanced among the remaining CPUs.
A child can then be created that hold some or all the CPUs in the isolated set. It will then have a separate root domain if load balancing is on, or an isolated cpuset if load balancing is off.
Will that idea work?
