So with both flags set, how is the caller supposed to know what
hard affinity is now in effect? I said on the previous version already
that with you _having_ two CPU masks, you should return both.

Similarly here.

Of course, the name "eff_cpumap" then is likely not really suitable.

In further revisions, please make these annotations correctly
reflect what you patch does: In its current shape, this is an IN for
set and an OUT for get, ...

> +    struct xenctl_bitmap cpumap;
> +    /* OUT variables. */

... while this is an OUT for set, and unused for get (and I also said
earlier that _if_ this remains unused for one of the two operations,
then sharing the interface structure wouldn't be appropriate
anymore).
