A new version of irqbalance start using IRQBALANCE_BANNED_CPULIST to mark the banned CPUs
that are not suppose to participate in the irq balancing.

We're setting the new variable with a default value - which
means that all CPUs are participating in the irq balancing.

@Tal-or lets revisit this PR

new version of irqbalance start using IRQBALANCE_BANNED_CPULIST to mark the banned CPUs
that are not suppose to participate in the irq balancing.

We're setting the new variable with a default value `-` which
means that all CPUs are participating in the irq balancing.

This is only needed for cases when more
control is required on the restore flow.
cri-o/cri-o@e158549

In our case we do not need the restore flow at all, because
the default behavior of the dynamic irqbalancing provided by cri-o
is good enough for us.

hence, we disable the restore flow completely.

Has this been confirmed upstream? I don't see any issue or documentation PR there to describe the semantics of '-'. My worry is that this is undocumented and therefore subject to change by irqbalance maintainers. Thanks!
