[PATCH v7 07/10] isolation: Introduce io_queue isolcpus type

Multiqueue drivers spread I/O queues across all CPUs for optimal
performance. However, these drivers are not aware of CPU isolation
requirements and will distribute queues without considering the isolcpus
configuration.
Introduce a new isolcpus mask that allows users to define which CPUs
should have I/O queues assigned. This is similar to managed_irq, but
intended for drivers that do not use the managed IRQ infrastructure
