The strip functions makes string from all arguments and
expands to its stripped version.
Also used in the cpu-partitioning profile to strip output
of the 'mktemp -d' command.

Users can switch to Tuned if they need process blacklisting
(i.e. marking of processes which are allowed to run on
isolated cores). This will be very probably made the default
in next Tuned release.

Plugin scheduler now can do cores isolation on its own, Tuna is
not needed for it, e.g.:
[scheduler]
isolated_cores=2-4
ps_blacklist=.*pmd.*;.*PMD.*;^DPDK;.*qemu-kvm.*
It will isolate cores 2-4, it will ignore processes which matched
ps_blacklist regexes. Multiple regexes can be separated by ';'.
Quoted semicolon, i.e. '\;' is taken literally.
It also supports 'ps_whitelist' which is by default set to '.*'.
It takes all processes which matches ps_whitelist than it removes
those which matches ps_blacklist and move them out of the
isolated_cores. When the profile is unloaded it allows all matching
processes to run on all cores.
It changes processes affinities, threads affinities, IRQs affinities
and it sets default_smp_affinity for IRQs.
Also cpu-partitioning profile has been switched from Tuna to this
mechanism.

It's more descriptive to use 'tuned.non_isolcpus' kernel boot command line
parameter for dracut preudev scripts provided by Tuned than the
previously used 'tuned.cpumask'.

This adds 00-tuned-pre-udev.sh script into initrd image which is getting
tuned.cpumask kernel command line parameter and sets workqueue affinity
accordingly.

As the cpu-partitioning profile does not use isolcpus=,
the kernel can end up creating long living timers on
nohz_full CPUs during early boot. Those timers will
fire later, causing jitter.
However, recent Linux kernel will always try to migrate
unpinned timers away from nohz_full CPUs when timer
migration is enabled which is what we want.
NOTE: Older kernels would migrate unpinned timers from
idle CPUs to busy CPUs without regard if the
CPU is nohz_full. This would certainly cause
trouble to applications that takes 100% of the
CPU in user-space (eg. DPDK). So, enabling
timer migration is only safe on recent kernels.

The profile is delivered in the new tuned-profiles-cpu-partitioning subpackage.
Also moved defirqaffinity.py to the base package to allow other profiles
to use it.
