Subject: [PATCH 0/2] clarify and cleanup CPU and NUMA topology ABIs

patch #1: clarify the overflow issue of sysfs pagebuf, and Move the
presence of BUILD_BUG_ON to more sensible place.

patch #2: move the interface that exists under
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/ to the more logical
Documentation/ABI/ file that can be properly parsed and
displayed to the user space.

these two patches are a follow-up to Greg's comments in the below threads:
