From: Chris Metcalf <cmetc...@ezchip.com>
The "clear" API is useful, for example, to modify a cpumask to avoid
the nohz cores so that interrupts aren't sent to them.
Likewise the "set" API is useful to modify a cpumask indicating some
special nohz-type functionality so that the nohz cores are
automatically added to that set.

Frederic, if you could ack this patch (and maybe the next) before
I ask for it to be pulled into the timer tree that would be great.
I will wait a few days before asking in case anyone else has any
other issues or would like to provide an Acked-by.
v2: put the "...set_cpus" API together with the change to
init_sched_domains() so that they can go into the timer tree
independently of other changes in my tree.
