I've tested this now with making cpumask_t a struct, and it works fine
(at the moment it's unsigned long for every arch, no change).
It worked because you cast the thing to (unsigned long *) in every
bitops. We either:
1) shouldn't need to do that, meaning cpumask_t must be a long
or array or longs
2) you need to abstract away bitops on cpumask_t so that one
_really_ could make cpumask_t a struct with things other
than the mask itself inside, so cpumask_test, cpumask_add,
cpumask_remove or however you'd like to name them
Didn't we go through a lot of effort to sanitize bitops types
and kill the ugly casts? :-))))
