I understand from include/linux/rcu_node_tree.h and kernel/rcu/Kconfig 
RCU_FANOUT and RCU_FANOUT_LEAF ranges that a 32-bit integer is 
sufficient to hold the mask on 32-bit architectures, and a 64-bit 
integer is enough on 64-bit architectures given the current implementation.

At least this appears to be the intent. I did not do a thorough analysis 
of the various parameter limits.

Thanks,

Mathieu
