minor namespace nit i noticed while looking at actual usage of
cpus_copy(): could you please rename it cpumask_set(dst, src)?

That streamlines it to have the same naming concept as atomic_set(),
node_set(), zero_fd_set(), etc.

the patch-set looks quite nice otherwise already, the changes are
straightforward and the end result already looks a lot more maintainable
and not fragile at all.

In what way will Rusty's changes differ? Since you incorporate some of
Rusty's changes already, could you please iterate towards a single
patchset which we could then start testing?
