Whoops, thanks, fixed!

Learnt a new thing there - fixed!

The second argument actually needs to be null: it's an out pointer for
an identifier for the NUMA node. sched_getcpu doesn't have a spot for
returning it, so we pass a null pointer there, which ignores it.
The *third* argument is a pointer to a now-unused cache structure,
and could probably be omitted safely. It's required to be non-NULL on kernels
older than 2.6.23, but we'd just end up corrupting random memory there
instead of getting an EFAULT. Not worth saving a register zeroing instruction.

Yup, noticed that one before, was saving the fix for the next patch email.

No problem! Some git trickery later, I've got this sorted.

Patches coming up in the next two emails, I'm still figuring out this
git-send-email thing.
