I agree with the analysis in above. cpumask_any_and() has to get the
first set bit from the two cpumask for which it also does some
additional calculations like __ffs().

whereas cpumask_intersects() has to only check if any of the bits is set
hence does fewer operations.


Looks good to me. Please feel free to add -
