So, it were just being part of the isolated domain thing, it would make
sense, but as a separate flag which isn't hierarchical, it's weird to put it
there.

There is a downside to making a feature a part of cpuset in that it makes
cgroup usage mandatory. This is fine for something which benefits from
hierarchical organization but it is weird to require building cgroup
hierarchy for straight-forward system-wide features.

Thanks.
