Ack. And thinking about it more, failing the cgroup operation wouldn't
guarantee that the task's affinity and the cpuset are aligned anyway. We
could still exec into a 32 bit task from within a 64 bit-only cpuset.

Maybe, but I think Android will do exactly that in some cases :/

I thought _this_ patch was 'fixing' this case by making the cpuset
operation pretty much a nop on the task affinity? The fallback rq stuff
is all about hotplug no?

Thanks,
