I'm not grok'ing what is user-visible here.
The two values should effectively be equivalent because we're
using this value to constrain mpol's during a hotplug event.
If the values differed, you would be saying there's a race condition
that could affect correctness of the rebind (which can't happen,
because this whole thing is done under the hotplug lock btw).
Can you help me understand?
