I forgot to say: The new accessors produce a little more legible code
with cpumask_var_t and cpumask_t * (the second we converted to
already wherever possible) than with cpumask_t, because of the need
to use & on the latter (and as you will see they also allow removing a
number of ugly looking * operators, which I always considered only
temporary).
