I am thinking along the line that it will not be hierarchical. However,
cpuset can be useful if we want to have multiple isolated partitions
underneath the top cpuset with different isolation attributes, but no
more sub-isolated partition with sub-attributes underneath them. IOW, we
can only set them at the first level under top_cpuset. Will that be useful?

Cheers,
