Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/ topology files

Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_id
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings_list
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/physical_package_id
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings_list

The descriptions in Documentation/cputopology.txt weren't very
informative, so I attempted a better description based on code
reading and hopeful guessing.

Updated Documentation/cputopology.txt with the better descriptions and
fixed some style issues.

+Description:    CPU topology files that describe a logical CPU's relationship
+                to other cores and threads in the same physical package.
+
+                One cpu# directory is created per logical CPU in the system,
+                e.g. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/.
+
+                Briefly, the files above are:
+
+                core_id: the CPU core ID of cpu#. Typically it is the
+                hardware platform's identifier (rather than the kernel's).
+                The actual value is architecture and platform dependent.
+
+                core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
+                within the same physical_package_id.
+
+                core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
+                numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.
+
+                physical_package_id: physical package id of cpu#. Typically
+                corresponds to a physical socket number, but the actual value
+                is architecture and platform dependent.
+
+                thread_siblings: internel kernel map of cpu#'s hardware
+                threads within the same core as cpu#
+
+                thread_siblings_list: human-readable list of cpu#'s hardware
+                threads within the same core as cpu#
+
+                See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
