I re-read your comments, and I think I have misunderstood your request.

The regressions are found when all places of STRUCT_SIZE("cpumask_t")
in crash were replaced by DIV_ROUND_UP(...). You see there are plenty
of places in crash which used STRUCT_SIZE("cpumask_t"), including the
2(the one which this patch is dealing with, and the one in tools.c)

However if only the 2 places (the one which this patch is dealing
with, and the one in tools.c) are replaced, there is no regression
being noticed.

So I'm going to deal with the only 2 places in v2.

Thanks,
Tao Liu
