Thought it reflects what we're doing here, but yes, actually it's redundant.

Yes, right, mindlessly followed what checkpatch was complaining.

Please see the following patch, with changes made based on your review and
patched up against -rc6.

[PATCH](v1) Fix isocpus's param handling when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n.

cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as limit to parse the
passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits
represents varies depends upon CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option.
If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is same as
NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of cpus really exist
(default 64). So, there's a chance of gap between nr_cpu_ids
and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse()
operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on a 8 cpu
system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error
that it suppose to.

This patch fixes this issue by effectively find out the last
cpu of the passed isolcpus list and checking it with nr_cpu_ids.
Also, fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be
nr_cpu_ids-1, since the cpu numbering starts from 0.

Changes since v0 (Ingo):
* use cpumask_last() directly into the condition.
* use CPU rather cpu in documentation
* undo line break
