So the Changelog and the patch don't seem to agree with one another.

The Changelog states that nohz_full should depend on isolcpus.
The patch implies nohz_full for isolcpus.

These are not the same; and I don't see the argument for the former make
sense for the latter.

In specific isolcpus without nohz_full does make sense.
