- please put spaces around "="
- that should have been CPU_MASK_NONE
- that code's way overengineered. This:

should do the trick (please check it)
- what we have here is an open-coded alloc_percpu(). Hows about
converting it to alloc_percpu()?
- that function should have been be __init.
How's that for a one-liner? ;)
