+Description:    CPU topology files that describe kernel limits related to
+                hotplug. Briefly:
+
+                kernel_max: the maximum cpu index allowed by the kernel
+                configuration.
+
+                offline: cpus that are not online because they have been
+                HOTPLUGGED off or exceed the limit of cpus allowed by the
+                kernel configuration (kernel_max above).
+
+                online: cpus that are online and being scheduled.
+
+                possible: cpus that have been allocated resources and can be
+                brought online if they are present.
+
+                present: cpus that have been identified as being present in
+                the system.
+
+                See Documentation/cputopology.txt for more information.
