I too don't have a strong preference either way ... just a bias toward
keeping the exposed per-cpuset flags as simple and generic as practical.

Exposing internal details that don't need to be exposed has two downsides:
 1) it makes using the flags slightly more difficult, as the user has to
    figure out more details, and
 2) it exposes some internal details that we didn't need to expose, thereby
    possibly making future changes more difficult.  We can change internal
    hidden detail anytime we want, but exposed interfaces are locked in
    with a high barrier to incompatible change.

I too would welcome comments from others.
