Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my bitmasks in hex.

Please also consider changing:

still_running:
c = goodness(prev, this_cpu, prev->active_mm);
next = prev;

to:

still_running:
if (prev & (1 << this_cpu)) {
c = goodness(prev, this_cpu, prev->active_mm);
next = prev;
}

Otherwise, you will keep scheduling a RT process forever on a
disallowed CPU on which it is already running. And even a non-RT
process will stick on its disallowed CPU as long as nothing else runs
there.

Learnt this the hard way from the hotplug CPU patch...
