Ug, I never sent my email. It was half written and in my drafts folder.
I'll reply below.

Please do not do the scnprintf() in the TP_fast_assign(). It's heavy
weight and this is done in the code path. Just copy the actual cpumask
itself.
Now, how to do that exactly is the reason I never sent my original mail,
because I never got around to looking how to do it, but it is possible.
Unfortunately, I'm at Kernel Summit at the moment, and still don't have
time to look at the best way to do it. But you can use dynamic arrays
for the cpus_online.

Here is where you can convert the cpumask saved in the ring buffer to a
snprintf() format. Now this may need some work too, and perhaps even a
handler to help. I thought there was already some printk format that
does cpumasks.
If the helpers are not there, then I can work on adding some.
