Hi,
Needs justification (why?) and a user.


Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a
list of cpus. Format: <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a
large system. Valid values of <cpu_number> include all cpus, 0 to
"number of CPUs in system - 1".

Yep, makes sense. Just need to say so in the patch description
and supply a user of the code.

Thanks,
