Re: [PATCH v2] x86: Fix /proc/cpuinfo cpumask warning

[Andrew Jones]

Adding more people and lists to CC in order to point this patch out,
because, based on a quick grep of cpuinfo seq operations, I think at least
openrisc, powerpc, and s390 also need an equivalent patch (and I've
already sent a patch for riscv). While the test is simple (see next
paragraph) I'm not equipped to test on each architecture.

To test, just build a kernel with DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS enabled, boot to a
shell, do 'cat /proc/cpuinfo', and look for a kernel warning.

Thanks,
drew
