kcpuset(9) interface



Hello,

Here is a reworked dynamic CPU set implementation for kernel (shared
cpuset.c in src/common will be moved to libc) - a kcpuset(9) interface:

http://www.netbsd.org/~rmind/kcpuset_ng.diff

It supports early use while the system is cold through a fix up mechanism,
see kcpuset_sysinit().  That would enable us to use kcpuset(9) in MD code,
such as pmap(9).  The intention of interface is to:  1) replace hard-coded
parts (e.g. limited to uint32_t or MAXCPUS constant) with a more dynamic
mechanism  2) replace and unify duplicated CPU bitset code (e.g. in MIPS,
PowerPC, sparc64, which have own copies).

Comments?
