Hmm, I'm not so sure. I tried to model it after get_online_cpus(), which doesn't
return anything (for other reasons, of course..)

Moreover, a function name like *_cpu_* returning the CPU number would be intuitive.
But a name such as *_cpus_* (plural) returning a CPU number might appear confusing..

And also I don't think it'll make a huge improvement in the callers.. (We might
be better off avoiding an smp_processor_id() if possible, since this function could
be called in very hot paths).. So I don't see a strong case for returning the
CPU number. But let me know if you think it'll still be worth it for some reason...

Thank you very much for the detailed review, Paul!
