Yeah, I'm afraid we'll have to, this asymmetric muck is only going to
get worse from here on.

Anyway, I think we can avoid adding another cpumask_t to task_struct and
do with a cpumask_t * insteads. After all, for 'normal' tasks, the
task_cpu_possible_mask() will be cpu_possible_mask and we don't need to
carry anything extra.

Only once we hit one of these assymetric ISA things, can the task
allocate the additional cpumask and retain the full mask.

Yeah, we're all about to shut down for a bit, I'll not be looking at
email for 2 weeks either, so even if you send it, I might not see it
until the next year.
