At this point we probably be better off renaming 'struct mmap_cpu_mask'
to 'struct cpumask' since it is not only for 'mmap's, right?

In fact probably would be better to adopt linux/cpumask.h from the
kernel sources, i.e.:

typedef struct cpumask { DECLARE_BITMAP(bits, NR_CPUS); } cpumask_t;

can you move 'nr_threads' to before 'thread_masks'?

Plese use NULL, as 'mask->nbits' is a pointer.

please combine such decl + assign into one line, i.e.:

int ret = record__mmap_cpu_mask_alloc(&mask->maps, nr_bits);

Usually when we don't manage to allocate all that we need we go on and
free the partially allocated resources.
