While that's slightly wrong (needs a closing } supplied by the user), it
does inspire me to point out that one can put the skips in the ordinary
statement part of the for and use the if else idea to make sure that the
for needs just one statement following (i.e.  no dangling } supplied by
the user)
#define for_each_cpu_mask(cpu, mask)                     \
        for ((cpu) = 0; (cpu) < NR_CPUS; (cpu)++)        \
            if (!((mask).bits[0] >> (cpu)) {             \
                break;                                   \   
            } else if (!((mask).bits[0] >> (cpu)) & 1) { \
                continue;                                \   
            } else
I expect common subexpression optimization in the compiler to remove the
repetition here.  If not, somebody else can think about it!
