The patch 854701ba4c is technically correct. I fixed most of warnings in
advance, but nobody can foresee everything, right? I expected some noise,
and now we have just a few things to fix. This is what for -rc releases
exist, didn't they?

I suggest to keep the patch, because this is the only way to make
cpumask_check()-related issues visible to people. If things will go as
they go now, I expect that -rc3 will be clean from cpumask_check()
warnings.

Thanks,
