It is difficult to know which cpuset size kernel is using,
for example, cpuset_getaffinity has following code:

 if (uap->cpusetsize < sizeof(cpuset_t) ||
       uap->cpusetsize > CPU_MAXSIZE / NBBY)
                return (ERANGE);

So if I provide a buffer, who can tell me what size I should use?
too large or too small ? where can I get the size ?
