The following rules apply to each cpuset:
- Its CPUs and Memory Nodes must be a subset of its parents.
- It can only be marked exclusive if its parent is.
- It can't be marked exclusive unless its parent is.
- If its cpu or memory is exclusive, they may not overlap any sibling.
These rules, and the natural hierarchy of cpusets, enable efficient
