Marcel Moolenaar a36bdc0606 Introduce the cpumask_t type. The purpose of the type is to create a
level of abstraction for any and all CPU mask and CPU bitmap variables
so that platforms have the ability to break free from the hard limit
of 32 CPUs, simply because we don't have more bits in an u_int. Note
that the type is not supposed to solve massive parallelism, where
the number of CPUs can be larger than the width of the widest integral
type. As such, cpumask_t is not supposed to be a compound type. If
such would be necessary in the future, we can deal with the issues
then and there. For now, it can be assumed that the type is integral
and unsigned.

With this commit, all MD definitions start off as u_int. This allows
us to phase-in cpumask_t at our leasure without breaking anything.
Once cpumask_t is used consistently, platforms can switch to wider
(or smaller) types if such would be beneficial (or not; whatever :-)

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
