whats the point of affinity->changed flags when we call
affinity__set unconditionaly? I think we can do without
it, becase we'll always endup calling affinity__set

also here you're missing affinity__cleanup call in here

however, it seems superfluous to always allocate those
bitmaps, while we need just the current cpus that we
run on and also that is probably questionable

could we put 'struct affinity' to 'struct evlist'
and get rid of all affinity__setup/cleanup calls?
(apart from those in evlist__init and evlist__delete)
