  vm_power_manager currently makes use of uint64_t masks to keep track of
cores in use, limiting use of the app to only being able to manage the
first 64 cores in a multi-core system. Many modern systems have core
counts greater than 64, so this limitation needs to be removed.

This patch converts the relevant 64-bit masks to character arrays.

Hi Dave,

Overall looks OK, but some comments below.

Here and in other places - early exit would've avoided unneeded extra 
indents, e.g.

if (mask[i] != 1)
	continue;

I'm probably missing something here, but at face value, replacing an 
atomic set operation with a simple memcpy is not equivalent. Is there 
any locking that's missing from here? Or was it that atomics were not 
necessary in the first place?

This was a thin wrapper to get around dealing with masks. Now that 
you're dealing with array indexes, this function seems redundant (and 
creates an extra mask/memset in the process).

You seem to be using (val) and (val == 1) interchangeably. This worked 
for masks, but will not work for char arrays. Comparisons for values 
should be explicit in this and other similar cases.

Same as above re: indent - perhaps, early exit (well, early continue...) 
would make things easier to read.

Same, should be mask[cpu] == 1.

Also, are two loops necessary?

Yes. The rest of the updates to the config space are protected by a 
spinlock, this case used an atomic because it was a uint64, so now that 
it's an array I've added a spinlock lock/unlock around the memcpy.

Both functions are called from other files. So still needed, 
unfortunately. It may be possible to remove later in the series, if 
those calls are removed.
