That should be a single line (as required by kerneldoc).

And please don't add this empty line (analogously below).

Why don't you say "@cpu: CPU number"?  It's quite clear from the header below
that this is an integer. :-)

This is meaningless.  If you want to describe return values like this, you need
to explain what the success is and what error values can be returned and what
they mean.

And please say "a negative error code" instead of "< 0". :-)

Thanks,
Rafael
