- please put spaces around "="

- that should have been CPU_MASK_NONE

- that code's way overengineered.  This:

_

should do the trick (please check it)

- what we have here is an open-coded alloc_percpu().  Hows about
  converting it to alloc_percpu()?

- that function should have been be __init.


How's that for a one-liner? ;)
