I'm pretty happy about it. However, it fails build when merged on top of linus current upstream due to some cpumask changes. I don't know quite the detail of the new cpumask stuff ... It could be as simple as passing a pointer instead of the value in the cpumask_scnprintf call though... Can you check and produce a new patch pls ?
