Would it make sense to add a variant like: ipi_send_cpu() that records a
single cpu instead of a cpumask. A lot of sites seems to do:
cpumask_of(cpu) for that first argument, and it seems to me it is quite
daft to have to memcpy a full multi-word cpumask in those cases.
Remember, nr_possible_cpus > 64 is quite common these days.
