Simplicity of translation, laziness, and reluctance to break stuff.  And a
nicer API.

It's called here on cpu bringup, but I'll change it (the code doesn't sleep).  
I've a couple of others in my queue I'll look at similarly.

powernow_k8_target is problematic: it grabs a mutex.  cpufreq people, is this 
called often?

Thanks,
Rusty.

Subject: cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in powernow-k8.c
From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

It's generally a very bad idea to mug some process's cpumask: it could
legitimately and reasonably be changed by root, which could break us
(if done before our code) or them (if we restore the wrong value).

I use work_on_cpu, which is slightly less efficient than the old code,
but the code is complex enough that using smp_call_function_single()
is not trivial.
