This series enables the 'setexpr' command to print "cpu list"-like bitmaps based on the printk format specifier [1].
One use-case is to pass cpu list [2] based kernel parameter like 'isolcpu', 'nohz_full', irq affinity or RCU related CPU parameter to the kernel via a separate firmware variable without exposing the 'bootargs' variable to directly.
Example:
setexpr isolcpu_bootarg=%32pbl $myCPUisolation && env set bootargs "$isolcpu_bootarg" && bootm
