The general argument to avoid removal of these no longer valid links
is that they may still be available from archive.org.

For instance:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170512010721/http://oss.sgi.com/projects/cpusets/

It may be appropriate to copy the content into a local Documentation
file somewhere to avoid the need to lookup old reference links.

I don't think the contents in those links provide valuable information about cpusets.
We have documents in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup/ and man cpuset(7). So I think
we can just remove them.

I agree, I did the archive.org lookup and it appeared that the current
version of most of this information is already under the Documentation
tree.
