That's fine with me.  A later version of the patch did have
the function removed but it didn't get picked up.  The other
changes there were to use function pointers instead of the
flag variable to select list or mask output format, and the
addition of mask variants for the cpu/{present,possible,
online,system} map outputs.

I'll dig that one back up and resubmit it.

Thanks,
