Clearly it's not a simplicity win right now as it net adds a lot of code.
I'd rather see this as part of a patch series that actually uses it more
substantially. And even then I'd bet that half of this patch could be
removed as unused. If NUMA changes end up manipulating cpumaps in, say, a
dozen places then I could see this approach being useful, instead of
pointless abstraction (how it appears currently).
