Re: [PATCH] cpumask: alloc blank cpumask left over

[Yinghai Lu]

It seems we could remove that FIXME now.
cpumask_size is referred rather later.

Subject: [PATCH] use nr_cpumask_bits for cpumask_size calculating

so alloc_cpusmask_var could save some space when MAXSMP is used aka NR_CPUS
is 4096 on small conf system
