 V2

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86: Add check for node passed to node_to_cpumask V2

V2: Slightly different version to remove a compiler warning.

  * When CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is set, the node passed to
      node_to_cpumask and node_to_cpumask_ptr should be validated.

Based on "Thu Jun 26 09:23:55 PDT 2008" tip/master...  ;-)
