Merge r261796 from head: While it isn't too late and kvm_read_zpcpu() function isn't yet used outside libkvm(3), change its order of arguments, so that it is the same as in kvm_read(). Merge r261805 from head: Add kvm_getncpus() to obtain mp_ncpus.

With retirement of cpumask_t and usage of cpuset_t for representing a mask of CPUs, pc_other_cpus and pc_cpumask become highly inefficient.
Remove them and replace their usage with custom pc_cpuid magic (as, atm, pc_cpumask can be easilly represented by (1 << pc_cpuid) and pc_other_cpus by (all_cpus & ~(1 << pc_cpuid))).
This change is not targeted for MFC because of struct pcpu members removal and dependency by cpumask_t retirement.

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).

libkvm code janitoring
- make WARNS=6 clean for archs w/o strict alignment requirments - add const, ANSIfy, remove unused vars, cast types for comparison - thanks to differing definitions of VM_MIN_ADDRESS across our archs, we need to trick the compiler to not complain about signedness. We could either fix VM_MIN_ADDRESS to always be a simple integer or make the check conditional on $ARCH.

Similar to sys/net/vnet.h, define the linker set name for sys/sys/pcpu.h as a macro, and use it instead of literal strings.

A first cut at teaching libkvm how to deal with dynamic per-CPU storage (DPCPU):
A new API, kvm_dpcpu_setcpu(3), selects the active CPU for the purposes of DPCPU. Calls to kvm_nlist(3) will automatically translate DPCPU symbols and return a pointer to the current CPU's version of the data. Consumers needing to read the same symbol on several CPUs will invoke a series of setcpu/nlist calls, one per CPU of interest.
This addition makes it possible for tools like netstat(1) to query the values of DPCPU variables during crashdump analysis, and is based on similar code handling virtualized global variables.
