As long as the only justification for this cpus_scnprintf is human
readability, I have concerns too.

Patch 2/4 itself is ok and 4/4 too. The only thing I miss is an export
of NR_CPUS. So that you know in front of reading a kernel mask, what
size your bitmap needs. (for example glibc cpu_set_t has only 1024
bits but has an cpu_set_t with arbitrary size too).
