The catch is that there seems to be no obvious way to do something
different for the RTAI kernel than for the normal kernels. You can
easily decorate *all* the kernels using something like

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX isolcpus=1

However, I'm using the same Atom box to run a Thing-O-Matic 3D printer
as well as the Sherline mill (not at the same time). The process that
converts solid models into printable G-Code requires as many CPU cycles
as it can possibly get, so it's highly desirable (nay, verily, vital) to
*not* throw away half the CPU when I'm not using EMC.

So I boot into the RTAI kernel for EMC2 and the stock Ubuntu
kernel-of-the-month for the Thing-O-Matic.

What I need is something that recognizes the RTAI kernel and applies
isolcpus=1 to it. That seems to be beyond Grub2, although I'm sure
somebody with serious Bash-fu could write a script filter...
