I wasn't looking for a variant implementation. Unless this variant
serves some critical purpose that isolcpus can't provide, I would be
against it. I'm trying to minimize API changes to kernel users.

I am trying to discuss the reasons for or against removing isolcpus.

I just started a separate lkml thread, with a wider audience, to
address this question:

Inquiry: Should we remove "isolcpus= kernel boot option? (may have realtime uses)
