[PATCH v2] sched/isolation: add a workqueue parameter to constrain unbound CPUs

From: tiozhang
Date: Wed Jun 14 2023 - 05:20:20 EST


Motivation of doing this is to better improve boot times for devices when
we want to prevent our workqueue works from running on some specific CPUs,
e,g, some CPUs are busy with interrupts.
