I think that maybe it's better to have a new type :

typedef whatever-is-appropriate cpu_affinity_t;

with a set of macros :

CPU_AFFINITY_INIT(aptr)
CPU_AFFINITY_SET(aptr, n)
CPU_AFFINITY_ISSET(aprt, n)

so that we can simplify that interfaces :

asmlinkage int sys_sched_set_affinity(pid_t pid, cpu_affinity_t *aptr);
asmlinkage int sys_sched_get_affinity(pid_t pid, cpu_affinity_t *aptr);
