A valid cpu_set_t argument could be smaller than a cpumask_var_t so we
have to allocate a cpumask_var_t and zero it if the argument size is smaller.
Moreover depending on the kernel configuration the cpumask_var_t could
be allocated on the stack, avoiding an actual memory allocation.
Exporting get_user_cpu_mask() may be better, although here the size
is checked in a separate function, as there are other explicit user
cpumask handling (in io_uring for instance).

Actually nothing, I had a use case for VFIO msi and msi-x based devices only.

My main use case is to configure NVMe queues in a virtual machine monitor
to interrupt only the physical CPUs assigned to that vmm. Then we can
set the same cpu_set_t to all the admin and I/O queues with a single ioctl().
I reckon another usage would be to assign a specific CPU for each interrupt
vector: with this interface it requires multiple ioctl().
I'm worried about the size of the argument if we allow an array of cpu_set_t
for a device with many interrupt vectors.

Right. The DATA_BOOL cannot overflow this `hdr->count` has been checked
already but it would be more consistent to use it there too.

Ok. Indeed we can just copy the hdr->argz - minsz, then allocate and copy
the cpumask_var_t only in the set affinity function. It only costs 1 memory
allocation but the patch will be less intrusive in the generic ioctl()) code.

Not yet but I will work on it.
Thanks for your review.
