This patch extends the 'Parent::session()' and 'Root::session()' functions with an additional 'affinity' parameter, which is inteded to express the preferred affinity of the new session. For CPU sessions provided by core, the values will be used to select the set of CPUs assigned to the CPU session. For other services, the session affinity information can be utilized to optimize the locality of the server thread with the client. For example, to enable the IRQ session to route an IRQ to the CPU core on which the corresponding device driver (the IRQ client) is running. |

D3m stands for demo device driver manager. It is the service responsible for implementing device-driver policies such as probing for a boot device or merging user input coming from different input devices (USB HID and PS/2). The actual device drivers are executed as child processes of d3m. At the current stage, d3m is primarily geared towards bootable live CD images.
