Subject:   Bumping cpuset_t size and MAXCPU on amd64 to 256
Message-ID:  <201408141435.59323.jhb@freebsd.org>

There was an earlier thread about this a few months ago and after fixing a few 
other places (already committed) the patch below has survived a universe 
build.  Does anyone have any objections to these going in?  Note that the 
_cpuset.h change changes the size of 'cpuset_t' in userland for all platforms.  
Due to the way the cpuset system calls work (and the libc routines), this 
should not be an ABI change (the caller always encodes the size of the set as 
an argument to the system call).

Also, note that on amd64 the kernel won't actually handle more than 255 CPUs 
(a few places still use u_char which Adrian is preparing to beat into 
submission, but we also can't support APIC IDs > 0xfe until we grow true 
x2APIC support).
