OK, I guess something like cpuset_next() or next_cpuset() should be fine?

Actually, I didn't intend this to be used in other places because their
traversals are a little bit different anyway.. But yes, having a check for
list_empty() would be good. I'll add it and change the loop to something like:

while (cpuset_next(&queue) {
	...
}

Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks a lot!
