Description

We'd like to add support for the cpusets subsystem, in order to support pinning to cpus.

This has several potential benefits:

1. Improved isolation against other tenants, when given exclusive access to cores.
2. Improved performance, if pinned to several cores with good locality in the CPU topology.
3. An alternative / complement to CFS for applying an upper limit on CPU usage.
