The plan is providing a common wrapper similar with cpumap_print_to_pagebuf
so that all modules which have bitmap and list topology ABI can move to use
it.

Right now, drivers/base/topology.c and drivers/base/node.c are the first
two examples involved. We are still having around 40 other places in
the todo list.

Thanks
Barry
