[CPUFREQ] cpumask: don't put a cpumask on the stack in x86...cpufreq/powernow-k8.c
It's still mugging the current process's cpumask, but as comment in 1ff6e97f1d says, it's not a trivial fix. So, at least we can use a cpumask_var_t to do the Wrong Thing the Right Way :) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> To: cpufreq@vger.kernel.org Cc: Mark Langsdorf <mark.langsdorf@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
