Let me guess, this is a failure seen with uclibc too ? The line
that warning corresponds to is

    mask = CPU_ALLOC(numcpus);

On glibc this is defined to a function _sched_cpualloc(), hence
we don't see a warning.

If your headers are defining this in terms of malloc(), then IMHO,
the sched.h should be including stdlib.h on our behalf. IOW, I
think this is a bug in the c library headers

That all said, I'm not against adding this workaround in libvirt,
provided the c library bug is reported upstream.
