CPU Caps update

Now that the NUMA observability tools are integrated, I made some progress on the CPU caps. I was mostly scribbling documentation and produced a few useful pages:

I also managed to do some actual coding and fixed the nasty locking issue which could leave threads left on the wait queues forever when caps are disabled. I still have a few more issues to attack.

In the process I filed a few new resource management bugs/RFEs:

6466380
Project resource set callbacks are needlessly called on every fork()
6468003
prctl should support the notion of default and infinity
6468451
Errors from setting resource controls should propagate to the caller

Awesome!!! I'm watching this project closely. CPU Capping will really be a big help to those of us in the hosting business and providing resources to inhouse developers.
