[PATCH 5/5] Documentation: ABI: document /sys/devices/system/cpu/

[Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com>]

This interface has been around for a long time, but hasn't been
officially documented.

Since I wanted to extend the ABI, I figured I would document what
already existed.

+Description:
+		A collection of CPU attributes, including cache information,
+		topology, and frequency. It also contains a mechanism to
+		logically hotplug CPUs.
+
+		The actual attributes present are architecture and
+		configuration dependent.

+Description:
+		When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, allows the user to
+		discover and change the online state of a CPU. To discover
+		the state:
+
+		cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/$cpu/online
+
+		A value of 0 indicates the CPU is offline. A value of 1
+		indicates it is online. To change the state, echo the
+		desired new state into the file:
+
+		echo [0|1] > /sys/devices/system/cpu/$cpu/online
+
+		For more information, please read Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt

+Description:
+		When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, a symbolic link that points
+		to the corresponding NUMA node directory.
+
+		For example, the following symlink is created for cpu42
+		in NUMA node 2:
+
+		/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/node2 -> ../../node/node2
