Post r222812 KTR_CPUMASK started being initialized only as a tunable
handler and not more statically.

Unfortunately, it seems that this is not ideal for new platform bringup
and boot low level development (which needs ktr_cpumask to be effective
before tunables can be setup).

Because of this, add a way to statically initialize cpusets, by passing
an list of initializers, divided by commas. Also, provide a way to enforce
an all-set mask, for above mentioned initializers.

This imposes some differences on how KTR_CPUMASK is setup now as a
kernel option, and in particular this makes the words specifications
backward wrt. what is currently in -CURRENT. In order to avoid mismatches
between KTR_CPUMASK definition and other way to setup the mask
(tunable, sysctl) and to print it, change the ordering how
cpusetobj_print() and cpusetobj_scan() acquire the words belonging
to the set.
Please give a look to sys/conf/NOTES in order to understand how the
new format is supposed to work.

Also, ktr manpages will be updated shortly by gjb which volountereed
for this.

This patch won't be merged because it changes a POLA (at least
from the theoretical standpoint) and this is however a patch that
proves to be effective only in development environments.

etire the cpumask_t type and replace it with cpuset_t usage.

This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are
capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever
value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are
statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it
as low as possible for the time being.

Technical notes on this commit itself:
- More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced.
The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3)
for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string
representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which
creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation).
- pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon.
With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient
and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that
access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid
migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word
- Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel
and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself,
it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch
as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when
accessing kernland members.
- KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be
set as the example reported in NOTES.

Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but
private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt)
machine (amd64).

Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of
the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not
targeted for MFC.

People to thank for the time spent on this patch:
- sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested
several revision of the patches and really helped in improving
stability of this work.
- marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed
patches related to ktr.
- jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed.
- kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the
patch.
- marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of
the patch.
- marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific
implementations of the patch.
- Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been
already committed and have been listed separately.

Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several
degrees:
- Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big
count of CPUs.
- The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance,
which has been instrumental.
- Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during
development.

(I really hope I didn't forget anyone, if it happened I apologize in
advance).

implements its own assembly primitives for tracing events and needs to
properly check it. Anyway the sparc64 logic is not implemented yet due
to lack of knowledge (by me) and time (by marius), but it is just a
matter of using ktr_cpumask when possible.
