+ * CPUs or nodes are left empty.
+ *
+ * This routine is intentionally inefficient in a couple of regards.
+ * It will check all cpusets in a subtree even if the top cpuset of
+ * the subtree has no offline CPUs or nodes.  It checks both CPUs and
+ * nodes, even though the caller could have been coded to know that
+ * only one of CPUs or nodes needed to be checked on a given call.
