It's not clear that nohz_full is useful without isolcpus also
set, since otherwise the scheduler has to run periodically to
try to determine whether to steal work from other cores.

I think Rick has a similar patch.
I didn't see anything relevant in linux-next, though I did see
cpu_isolated_map
made into a public symbol in a recent commit by Rik.
Rik, what's the change you're proposing that's similar to this one? Thanks!

I am puzzled why this has not been done before, so I suspect
there is some argument against it that I am missing, but I
wasn't able to turn anything up by searching LKML.
