Perhaps no more obvious to you, but if you had to see the confusion
I'm seeing over on user side, this /proc/sys/kernel/sizeof_cpumask
might be a win.

But if you want to take the position that it's not the kernels job
to keep the users head screwed on straight, I won't argue.

Besides, when you wrote "I don't know how to sanely expose the damn
things", I instinctively took that as a challenge to present a way.

I still like the position I thought you took for a moment there, of
tightening, not loosening, the preconditions on setaffinity, starting
with backing out the changes made to it this week.

Are you still thinking of doing that, or would you rather just let this
dog go back to sleep, as it lies now?
