I take it that 'cpu' is coming online.

In this case, none of the cpus in the node are in the mask. So we set
and this cpu in the imc cpumask and return.

But this case implies that there is already a CPU from the node which
is in the imc_cpumask. As per the comment above, we are supposed to
just return. So why are we doing the following ?

Either the comment above is incorrect or I am missing something here.

It seems that we want to set only the smallest online cpu in the node
in the nest_imc_cpumask. So, if the newly onlined cpu is the smallest,
we replace the previous representative with cpu.

So, the comment above needs to be fixed.

What happens if a cpu in nest_imc_cpumask goes offline at this point ?

Is that possible ?
