Hmm... And this one doesn't have #1, at least for me. Can you please
resend again, so we all will have the series as a whole?

Also, can you rephrase this from patch #1 because it confuses people:

> + * for_each_cpu_from - iterate over every cpu present in @mask, starting at @cpu

Maybe: iterate over CPUs present in a @mask greater than a @cpu?
Or similar.

Thanks,
Yury
