I was going to add a Tested-by line, but this patch breaks the automatic
round-robin assignment when no CPU is added to any node on the
command-line.

Do we really need this constant? Why not just use max_cpus when
allocating the CPU sets, instead?

What if endvalue is larger than the cpu mask size we allocated?

This will be true for every node (as you preallocate all the CPU
sets in the beginning), so the loop will always end with i==0, in turn
unconditionally disabling the round-robin CPU assignment code below.
You can use CPU_COUNT_S, instead.
