Okay. I will add a separate entry for Rust cpumask stuff.

Non-trivial C macros and inlined C functions cannot be used directly
in the Rust code and are used via functions ("helpers") that wrap
those so that they can be called from Rust.

The free_cpumask_var() function is defined as inline only for the
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case and that's where we need this wrapper.
For the other case (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y), Rust code can directly
call free_cpumask_var() from the C code and we don't need this helper.

Sure.
