[PATCH] cpu affinity syscalls

This patch implements the following calls to set and retrieve a task's
CPU affinity:

    int sched_setaffinity(pid_t pid, unsigned int len,
    				      unsigned long *new_mask_ptr)
    int ched_getaffinity(pid_t pid, unsigned int len,
    				      unsigned long *user_mask_ptr)
