a number of cores, this allows for a sparse set of CPUs. Implement support
for sparse core masks on Octeon.
XXX jeff@ suggests that all_cpus should include cores that are offline or
running other applications/OSes, so the platform API should be further
extended to allow us to set all_cpus to include all cores that are
physically-present as opposed to only those that are running FreeBSD.

frequency. This counter can be accessed coherently from both cores.
Use this as the preferred timecounter for the SWARM kernels.
The CP0 COUNT register is unusable as the timecounter on SMP platforms because
the COUNT registers on different CPUs are not guaranteed to be in sync.
The platform that supports SMP currently is a SWARM with a dual-core Sibyte
processor. The kernel config file to use is SWARM_SMP.

The only reason we need to have the sb_load64() and sb_store64()
functions in assembly is to cheat the compiler and generate the
'ld' and 'sd' instructions which it otherwise will not do when
compiling for a 32-bit architecture. There are some 64-bit
registers in the SCD unit that must be accessed using 64-bit
load and store instructions.
