might be able to achieve the same goal by:

int cls_wt = cpumask_weight(cpu_cluster_mask(cpu));
if ((cls_wt > cpumask_weight(cpu_smt_mask(cpu))) &&
     && (cls_wt < cpumask_weight(cpu_coregroup_mask(cpu))))
   sched_cluster_present...

Ok. Make sense.

I was actually quite struggling with this part.
Had tried a couple of ways before sending this.
Still the sent one was quite ugly.
