This isn't quite right anymore, I reckon. The cpuset passed in is used
as an initial set, and this function removes CPUs from the set that
have differing values from those given in the array of pairs. If an
empty cpuset is passed in, then the initial set used is all online
cpus.

We'll have to be careful if we add another flag to deal with how it
behaves here too. I think the choice you made here is correct as it's
the most defensive. It's (usually) easy to change a failure to a
non-failure, but an ABI compatibility issue to change a
weird-but-nonfailing behavior to a different behavior. This might be
worth a comment, but I also tend to love comments more than most, so
up to you.

I worry this is accident prone. If the caller asks for some set of
CPUs that don't happen to be online right now, they get an answer for
a completely different set of CPUs. I'm all for having a shorthand for
"all online CPUs", but I think it should be more explicit. If you
moved the cpumask_and() below the if(cpumask_empty()), then IMO it
would be a clean shorthand: pass in an empty set to get all online
CPUs.

Hm, I realize now that doing the shorthand of "empty set == all online
cpus" leaves the VDSO in a slight lurch, as we now have to figure out
how to come up with the cpu_online_mask in usermode. It'd be a bummer
if the shorthand always bounced to the system call, as I think this
will be the most common case. Is there a way we could stash the
cpu_online_mask in the vDSO data without it going stale? Any other
ideas?
