Norman Feske 5fe29e8e4a Express affinities via Cartesian coordinates
This patch introduces new types for expressing CPU affinities. Instead
of dealing with physical CPU numbers, affinities are expressed as
rectangles in a grid of virtual CPU nodes. This clears the way to
conveniently assign sets of adjacent CPUs to subsystems, each of them
managing their respective viewport of the coordinate space.

By using 2D Cartesian coordinates, the locality of CPU nodes can be
modeled for different topologies such as SMP (simple Nx1 grid), grids of
NUMA nodes, or ring topologies.

README

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.
