        return cpumask_of_cpu(0);

Surely do-not-use-stack-to-allocate-cpumask-for-cpumask_of_cpu.patch.

We can't include percpu.h from cpumask.h because cpumask.h already includes
percpu.h.  So basically all users of cpumask_of_cpu() must include both
percpu.h and percpu.h.

akpm:/usr/src/linux-2.6.24-rc3> grep -rl cpumask_of_cpu . | wc -l
105

erp.  I'll drop the patch.
