PJ (the original cpuset author) has always been very conservative in
changing cpuset semantics/behaviour. Its being used at the big HPC labs
and those people simply don't like change.
It also ties in with us having to preserve ABI, Linus says you can only
do so if nobody notices -- if a tree falls in a forest and there's
nobody to hear it, it really didn't fall at all.
Which I guess means we're going to have to split locks :-)
