It sounds like a pain. Especially since we would need to dereference
cpumask_t when we use it. Does any remember if there was a plan for
dealing with cpumask_t when the number of cpus got large?

If we pass in a pointer to constant data semantically we should be fine.

Mostly I am wondering if three isn't a cleaner solution hidden away somewhere.
