Hi Linus,
From code reviewing the changes you made during the merge, I'm good 
with my commit purpose (fix the mapping between CPUs and HWQs). You 
actually replaced the "struct cpumask *online_mask" with cpu_online(cpu) 
function and it's fine. I'll run some tests to see that I'm not missing 
something.
Regarding the second patch from Christoph, let's wait for his review (I 
can also test other scenarios like offline/online CPU's after initial 
mapping of CPUs to HWQs).

Cheers,
Max.
