Make sure you don't confuse the numbers here. If the array is inside of
spu_base, it probably should not care how many spus are isolated, since that
is a concept of the (higher-level) spufs.

The number of SPUs on the other hand includes both SPUs that are owned
by spufs and those that might be used by another subsystem in the kernel.
We don't currently have any other users besides spufs, but the interfaces
are there.

Why do you even care about isolated spus in the first place?
