Well ... here's one case where your patch series is broken.

Argh - I almost missed this one. My mailer is setup to tag all
incoming lkml email that mentions the magic word 'cpuset'. But
it is not setup to catch indirect patches, needless to say.

One of your proposed changes (the only one I reviewed) removed the only
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL in kernel/cpuset.c. That EXPORT is needed because
the routine in question is called from inlines which modules use.

not in the configs I tested at least... but maybe I need to add a specific config to
my set..
