Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86: Change _node_to_cpumask_ptr to return const ptr
* Strengthen the return type for the _node_to_cpumask_ptr to be
a const pointer. This adds compiler checking to insure that
node_to_cpumask_map[] is not changed inadvertently.
Applies to tip/master with the following patch applied:
"[PATCH 1/1] x86: Add check for node passed to node_to_cpumask V3"
Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@....com>

Note: I did not change node_to_cpumask_ptr() in include/asm-generic/topology.h
as node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() does change the cpumask value.
