What makes you think this is a good idea? What purpose does it serves?
I can only see drawbacks to this: You're waking up more than one CPU,
wasting power, adding jitter and clobbering the cache.

I assume you see a benefit to that approach, so can you please spell it
out?

What is wrong with with cpumask_any_and?

Shouldn't that be an error?
