Announce: Pset - (was CPU Bind..)

I would like to announce (a bit prematurely) my kernel patch for support of
pset - processor sets on Linux/SMP. The implementation is based largely
on SGI's implementation of pset, and the sysmp() system call.

I have what seems to be a working kernel patch (I need till the end of this
weekend to make sure it is against the latest 2.1 and against 2.0), as well
as a small user-space library for the system call, and a few user utilities.

I have tested it minimally, and would like volunteers to test it. I don't
think it will cause any damage, but I can't make the claim that it will
not. This is my first foray into a lot of arenas (kernel, Makefiles,
shared libs) so there is still a pretty good list of things todo. This has
been a year in the (very slow) works. School and work keep creeping up.

I will have a formal announcement and FTP available, hopefully by Sunday.

If you are interested, just for my own amusement, please feel free to let
me know. I will need some help to make it finished, and possibly get it
ready for 2.3 development.
