 - Remove the old smp cpu topology specification with a new, more flexible
   tree structure that encodes the level of cache sharing and other
   properties.
 - Provide several convenience functions for creating one and two level
   cpu trees as well as a default flat topology.  The system now always
   has some topology.
 - On i386 and amd64 create a seperate level in the hierarchy for HTT
   and multi-core cpus.  This will allow the scheduler to intelligently
   load balance non-uniform cores.  Presently we don't detect what level
   of the cache hierarchy is shared at each level in the topology.
 - Add a mechanism for testing common topologies that have more information
   than the MD code is able to provide via the kern.smp.topology tunable.
   This should be considered a debugging tool only and not a stable api.
