I have tested this patchset on D06. It works well with kernel parameter
'maxcpus=1' or 'nohz_full=1-127 isolcpus=nohz,domain,managed_irq,1-127'.
Also the 'effective_affinity' is correct. Thanks!
By the way, I merged the second patch manually because of conflicts.
Maybe I lack some patches on your local repo.

Thanks,
