Yeah if I could do it again, I would have rather created something like
cpu_isolation= (which name would conflict with isolcpus though)

Well, it only sort of conflicts. I think given that they would be clearly
documented they are different enough not to create too much
confusion. And cpu_isolation really does seem like a good name.
