Nit: The term "refactor" usually mean updating the code of an existing 
function, sometimes extracting out code into new helper functions. In 
your case, partition_cpus_change() is a new helper function. This is 
also an issue in some of the earlier patches. I would prefer using 
phrase like "A previous patch has introduced a new helper function 
partition_cpus_change()"
