... and needs a lot more text explaining *why* it is doing that.

Previous patch renames it, this patch deletes it. Why do we need all
that unnecessary churn?
Also, this patch is trying to do a couple of things at once and
reviewing it is not trivial. Please split the changes logically.

This needs to explain what both masks are - user and system. "CPU" and
"kernel" is not "user" and "all".

No need to break the line here.
Also, you have a couple more places in your patches where you
unnecessarily break lines. Please don't do that, even if it exceeds 80
cols by a couple of chars.
