What about this?: Use a dummy resource that allocates all the resources for
your picky resources, without actually needing them. Then add colocation for
your picky resouurces on the dummy resource (your picky resources shouldn't
have extra utilization because of that trick), and add negative colocation to
the dummy resource for the other resources.
