That needs {} per coding style.

This is busted has heck, @flags should be the result of irqsave(.flags).

If you split after the = the result is so very much easier to read.

Would be useful to know how wide @cpus is, typically. Is that the power

You got them in exactly the wrong order here.

That's just horrible style. Move the unlock out of
thermal_pressure_update() such that lock and unlock are in the same
function.
