Hi Christoph,

Oh, my bad, Yinghai took care of cpusets too:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/penberg/slab-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=d39aad49c3e672b7de393c39438529243610c1ad

The patch shouldn't have probably labeled as "x86" but anyway, it's
taken care of. CPU hotplug initialization isn't using the bootmem
allocator so I don't see a problem with that either. Or did you have
something specific in mind?
