Allow users to pass a cpuset

If using a new book, MAKEFLAGS is set to -j$(nproc), so that if
we want to easure timings with 4 processors and our computer has
more than that, we need to restrict the number of processors.
Jhalfs allows to do that using th cpuset cgroup controller, so that
it only restrits the make job and not the whole machine. For that
use a small scripts written by Xi Ruoyao that restarts make this
the cpuset set.
