As a result of the separate lkml thread: Inquiry: Should we remove "isolcpus= kernel boot option? (may have realtime uses) and as a result of there not yet being a good reason -to- remove this, other than a few kernel developers who don't like it, I conclude that we should not just remove the "isolcpus=" feature. It might be that we should deprecate it, as I have suggested in the past. But I'm not now seeing even a good reason for that. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
