Regarding percpu, I've generally care for that allocator and to varying
degrees corresponding libraries for the last 6 years. I usually take
them in [1] if I have other stuff to run.

The cpumask stuff should not roll up through me, and I think likely you.
It's just a little unfortunate in timing as I was planning on respinning
the percpu hotplug stuff this week (not 100% sure anything will conflict
yet til I do it).

Thanks,
Dennis
