This makes me nervous.  I may have broken other archs.

I'm testing the following patch now.

Thanks,
Rusty.

cpumask: avoid cast-away-const for deprecated cpu_*_map.

James Bottomley encountered a Voyager bug where gcc was discarding
changes to cpu_possible_map, which is now #defined to
cpu_possible_mask with the const cast away.

The modern way is to use init_cpu_possible or set_cpu_possible, but
not everyone is converted yet.  I'm concerned that other archs might
have similar problems, so let's expose the underlying bits for the
moment (and prepend those names with __).

(This also makes accessing cpu_*_mask slightly more efficient, rather
than going via a pointer).
