Hi Cliff,

Thanks for tracking this. May I suggest this slightly enhanced version?

Subject: cpumask: fix tlb_uv initialization

Impact: fix boot on UV systems

Commit 76ba0ecda0de9accea9a91cb6dbde46782110e1c "cpumask: use cpumask_var_t
in uv_flush_tlb_others" used cur_cpu as an iterator; it was supposed to be
zero for the code below it.
