Why does this function need to take both a cpumask *and* a cpu, given
that they represent the same thing?

Why isn't that a call to smp_cross_call_single()?

Why don't you compute the cpumask here^^?

Similar comments for the arm64 side.
Overall, this needs to be backed by data that indicates that there is
an actual benefit for this extra complexity.
