The change makes sense to me. I wish this particular thing wasn't
duplicated so heavily - maybe we can unify all of them and use a common
code? In a separate patch most likely...

I would also not change cpu_all_mask -> cpu_online_mask in this patch.
That is worth a patch on its own with some explanation. I haven't
checked but I would suspect that alpha simply doesn't support cpu
hotplug so the two things are the same. But this needs some explanation.

Other than that the patch looks good to me. Feel free to add

Why do we need this?
