Hello,

Last week I added a feature to be able to simulate a CPU topology within a
vkernel [1] (the lbits and cbits options). Also I had made tests on other
platforms (thanks Alex H. for running the tests) [2][3].


[1] root@dbsd_64:/var/vkernel# ./boot/kernel/kernel -h
Usage: ./boot/kernel/kernel [-hsUv] [-c file] [-e name=value:name=value:...]
        [-i file] [-I interface[:address1[:address2][/netmask]]] [-l
cpulock]
        [-m size] [-n numcpus[:lbits[:cbits]]]
        [-p file] [-r file]

Arguments:
        -c      Specify a readonly CD-ROM image file to be used by the
kernel.
        -e      Specify an environment to be used by the kernel.
        -h      This list of options.
        -i      Specify a memory image file to be used by the virtual
kernel.
        -I      Create a virtual network device.
        -l      Specify which, if any, real CPUs to lock virtual CPUs to.
        -m      Specify the amount of memory to be used by the kernel in
bytes.
        -n      Specify the number of CPUs and the topology you wish to
emulate:
                - numcpus - number of cpus
                - :lbits - specify the number of bits within APICID(=CPUID)
needed for representing
                  the logical ID. Controls the number of threads/core
(0bits - 1 thread, 1bit - 2 threads).
                - :cbits - specify the number of bits within APICID(=CPUID)
needed for representing
                  the core ID. Controls the number of core/package (0bits -
1 core, 1bit - 2 cores).
