Description : assigns a set of CPUs and Memory Nodes to a set of tasks

The Cpuset System is a processor and memory placement mechanism that
enables a system administrator to confine tasks to running on
certain CPUs, and to allocating memory on certain Memory Nodes.
The libcpuset library provides a convenient 'C' API to cpusets.

I'm uncertain of the context here, as I don't usually
read this list, and don't have the prior messages on
this particular thread, but if you're asking if libcpuset
works with cgroups, yes it does.

The cgroup subsystem does not change cpusets at all.
Cpusets "post-cgroups" are 100% compatible with cpusets
"pre-cgroups."

The documentation is two years old because cpusets has
been stable for that long.

Yeah - so I figured out. Thanks.
