I don't really care where the cpumask is in the source tree. I just want all
the workqueue cpumasks presented to the userspace in a single place. Also, I
think it makes sense to publish it to userspace in an easily accessible
manner as what the eventual configuration ends up being can be confusing and
the effect it has on the system subtle.

Thanks.
