While this is done for all bitmaps, the original use case in mind was for CPU masks and cpulist_parse() as described below. It seems that a common configuration is to use the 1st couple cores for housekeeping tasks. This tends to leave the remaining ones to form a pool of similarly configured cores to take on the real workload of interest to the user. So on machine A - with 32 cores, it could be 0-3 for "system" and then 4-31 being used in boot args like nohz_full=, or rcu_nocbs= as part of setting up the worker pool of CPUs. But then newer machine B is added, and it has 48 cores, and so while the 0-3 part remains unchanged, the pool setup cpu list becomes 4-47. Multiple deployment becomes easier when we can just simply replace 31 and 47 with "N" and let the system substitute in the actual number at boot; a number that it knows better than we do.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
