Probably cpumask_empty() would be more readable here.

I think I have already asked you to use proper comment style?

For this patch, probably it will work fine but I hope you will get rid of
this variable completely in next patches..

Why? Probably I did mention this earlier as well?

Can this ever be false?

Why do you need a change here?

Sure? Who will call dev_finish() now?
