There are kcpuset_attached and kcpuset_running, which are MI.  All ports
ought to switch to them replacing MD cpu_attached/cpu_running.  They can
be wrapped into a routine, but globals seem harmless in this case too.

There was no use case, when I added it.  Can you describe your use case?
Usually we iterate all CPUs with CPU_INFO_FOREACH() anyway (which should
also be replaced with a MI interface, but that requires non-trivial
invasion into all ports).
