Yes, that's my point: do we really want it?
I am more for avoiding it, if needed by using granularity, and
having extracting functions that might build the cpuset on the fly I
think that most of advantages of allocating/freeing/copying can be
achieved without the annoying free/alloc.
mmh thinking more I found a reason to add it: if the conversion to/
buildup of the "native" cpuset costly, and this platform has alloc/
free for its native cpuset...
then having alloc/free would allow one to use directly the native
cpuset on that platform (or embed it in the cpuset).
So that is probably a good reason to bit the bullet and add it.
