You need a better description here for people who don't know what this is 
about. For example, why would this be useful? There is no mention of 
--only-loads

I'm not a fan of this syntactic sugar it makes things wordier and less 
readable IMO for programmers. I see I let you do that for msrcfg.cpulist, 
but I'd prefer you put that back too

I'm not religious about the 80 char term, but if you're already modifying 
a comment, that overflows to the next line, why not neaten this up?

Since run_on_isolcpus are False by default you could also just do

cpulist = parse_cpulist_from_config(ldcfg.cpulist)

since we know that we are reusing the interface in which run_on_isolcpus 
are relevant, but in this case they are not, so explitly setting them to 
False is confusing

This works, but it needs to be more robust. For example
rteval-cmd --measurement-run-on-isolcpus --measurement-cpulist -2,4 -d5s
fails with
rteval-cmd: error: argument --measurement-cpulist: expected one argument
although this works
rteval-cmd --measurement-run-on-isolcpus --measurement-cpulist +0,-2,4 
-d5s

Also, ranges are not supported, it would be nice to do
-2-5 instead of -2,3,4,5

Thanks

John
