Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ topology files
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files: /sys/devices/system/cpu/kernel_max /sys/devices/system/cpu/offline /sys/devices/system/cpu/online /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible /sys/devices/system/cpu/present Excerpted the relevant information from Documentation/cputopology.txt and pointed back to cputopology.txt as the authoritative source of information.

20Description: CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
21 hotplug. Briefly:
22
23 kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
24 configuration.
25
26 offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
27 HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
28 kernel configuration (kernel_max above).
29
30 online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.
31
32 possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
33 brought online if they are present.
34
35 present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
36 the system.
37
38 See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
