Why are we calling this a domain_root and not a partition?
A partition can consist of several cgroups in a tree structure. That
flag should only be set at the root of a partition. I will change the
name to partition_root if you think this name is acceptable.
The flag indicates the 'effective_cpus' things of the current group is a
partition. The fact that it can have sub-partitions doesn't really
matter does it.

Just call it 'partition', leave out the whole root stuff, all of cgroup
is hierarchical and you can have sub-groups we don't go arounOd calling
everything a root.
OK, will name it "cpuset.sched.partition" in the next version of the
patchset.
