...this seems to erase information about CS_SCHED_LOAD_BALANCE zeroness.
IOW, if there's an isolated partition that becomes invalid and later valid again (a cpu is (re)added), it will be a normal root partition without the requested isolation, which is IMO undesired.
I may have overlooked something in broader context but it seems to me the invalidity should be saved independently of the root/isolated type.
