Note that "removed" and "deprecated" are using the terms loosely. No old API
was removed, and I didn't actually mark anything __deprecated (I just
documented it in the header).

Here are my revisions:

cpumask: cpu_all_mask and cpu_none_mask

-Impact: introduce new constants, convert old usage to them
+Impact: introduce new constants, convert core files.
