Subject: [PATCH 6/10] cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in powernow-k8.c


Impact: don't play with current's cpumask

It's generally a very bad idea to mug some process's cpumask: it could
legitimately and reasonably be changed by root, which could break us
(if done before our code) or them (if we restore the wrong value).

I use work_on_cpu, which is slightly less efficient than the old code,
but the code is complex enough that using smp_call_function_single()
is not trivial.
