Maybe, maybe not.  In this case, I kind of like that sleep failure
case doesn't have to be explicitly rolled back but if you like hard
coding that's fine too.

Ah, right forgot about that.  So, the things that need to be ordered
are cpu_active mask update, cpuset configuration and sched domains,
right?
