This could be construed to violate the guarantees of cpusets.
However, since this is an opt-in mechanism, the assumption is
that anyone enabling it is content to relax the guarantees.
I think we'd better have the cpuset violation paragraph along with new
zone reclaim mode text so that the users are aware of the potential
violation. I don't think commit log is the to-go place for any plain
users.
Agreed.  I'll add it to the Documentation/.
