        Thanks, both patches look ok except that the old styling
is showing warnings for this patch:

scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict /tmp/file1.patch

        It would be great if you silence them somehow in v3...

        BTW, est_cpulist is masked with current->cpus_mask of the
sysctl writer process, if that is of any help. That is why I skipped
it but lets keep it read-only for now...
