Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/offline
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/online
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/present

Excerpted the relevant information from Documentation/cputopology.txt
and pointed back to cputopology.txt as the authoritative source of
information.

Description: CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
hotplug. Briefly:

kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
configuration.

offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
kernel configuration (kernel_max above).

online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.

possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
brought online if they are present.

present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
the system.

See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
