Ah yes.

Kind of independent.  There's no implied internal reference to online_mask.

Note that I've been killing any_online_cpu().  It passes a cpumask on stack, 
and cpumask_any(cpu_online_mask) / cpumask_any_and(mask, cpu_online_mask) work
just as well.

OK, here's the updated patch.

Rusty.

Subject: cpumask: cpumask_closest() and cpumask_closest_and()

Impact: new functions

Andrew points out that acpi-cpufreq uses cpumask_any, when it really
would prefer to use the same CPU if possible (to avoid an IPI).  In
general, this seems a good idea to offer.
