I have no definite answer, I have not checked. What I suspect, however,
is that when you try and force an affinity for a Xenomai thread, it
tries and apply this affinity in secondary mode, i.e. as a plain Linux
thread. So, will fail if the target thread is not in the "isolcpus"
mask. In other words, a Xenomai thread can not run on a CPU where Linux
threads can not run.
