I have had five final cpumask patches in my queue for over a year now, and I'd like to merge them *next* merge window (not this one, too late).
The first two finally convert mm_struct and task_struct to variable cpumasks, which are the last in the core kernel. The next two turn off and break old-style cpumask uses when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is set, and the final one actually means we don't allocate all NR_CPUS bits for bitmasks.
Historically, this stuff has revealed issues when turned on, so I'd like it to have a long baking cycle in Ingo's tree and big-machine testers.
I'm rebasing and retesting now, will post git tree when I have it.
Thanks, Rusty.
