It limits load balancing for tasks in cpusets containing
a superset of that cpusets cpus.

There are always such cpusets - the top cpuset if no other.

Ah OK, and there is my misunderstanding with cpusets. From the
documentation it appears as though cpu_exclusive cpusets are
made in order to do the partitioning thing.

If you always have other domains overlapping them (regardless
that it is a parent), then what actual use does cpu_exclusive
flag have?
