Please use a mips name space. This suggests that it s completely
generic, which is not true.

Ditto.

We have accessors for that. Hmm, so for this case we must make the
ipi_mask different:

struct ipi_mask {
	unsigned int	nbits;
	bool		global;
	union {
       	     struct cpumask *mask;
	     unsigned long  cpu_bitmap[];
	};
};

Thanks,
