Subject: [RFC] The meaning of local_cpulist and local_cpus

Hi all,

Recently, i read some codes of PCI portions. I think
local_cpulist is a list about one kind of CPU and
local_cpus is a mask of CPU. But i am not sure when
and how i should use these two parameters.

See http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.5.4/drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c#L390 for
details.

Would anyone please give me some suggestions?
Thanks in advance ;-)

Thanks
Lulu Bian
