Mike has been mentioning libbitmask as if it were readily
available outside SGI.  That's not entirely true, yet.

SGI delivers libbitmask as part of its products to its
customers under an LGPL license, and I provide libbitmask
sources to others on request.  Real Soon Now (tm) I will
be publishing libbitmask sources on our oss.sgi.com web
site for one and all to make use of, under LGPL license.
But I haven't done that ... yet.

Libbitmask is a user level library, similar in purpose to,
but quite different in internal implementation and API
details from, the bitmap, cpumask and nodemask types in
the kernel.

A second library, libcpuset, is also delivered by SGI under
LGPL license, and provides a rich C library for use by
major applications requiring a robust cpuset interface.
This library too should become more easily obtained, once
I get around to publishing it on oss.sgi.com.
