Sorry, I misunderstood the scalar logic and thought that we treated:

'$mask $OP $scalar', e.g. 'target_cpus & 11'

... as a special case meaning a cpumask with that scalar bit set, i.e.

'$mask $OP CPUS{$scalar}', e.g. 'target_cpus & CPUS{11}'

... but evidently I was wrong.

Hmm... shouldn't we make 'CPUS{11}' work for that?

From a quick test (below), that doesn't seem to work, though I think it
probably should?

More confusingly, if I use '8', I get events with cpumasks which shouldn't
match AFAICT:

Have I completely misunderstood how this is supposed to work, or is that a bug?
