Norman Feske 6d837c9e26 Attach affinity information to session requests
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.

README

This is the example operating system based on the Genode OS framework:

:_Init_: is the first real process in the system. The provided implementation
  uses a very simple XML parser to read its configuration files.

:_Drivers_: The example OS has basic drivers for frame buffer, mouse and
  keyboard input, the PCI bus, the real-time clock, and system-specific timers.

:_Server_: The only server in the example OS is Nitpicker, a
  minimal-complexity GUI server.

:_Test_: are also part of the example OS. You may have a look at the fork
  bomb as a simple system stress test.

:_Ldso_: is the dynamic linker used for loading executables that are linked
  against shared libraries.

:_Lib_: contains libraries used by the components of the OS repository,
  in particular the device-driver kit, the alarm framework, and support
  for dynamic linking.
