Then it's all good, I'm not a
{aix,darwin,freebsd,hpux,osf,solaris,windows} developer either :)

Yay! You're welcome!

That's probably a good start, yes, as netbsd seems to be lacking numa
and socket/cache information in its kernel.

Suffice to s/freebsd/netbsd/ anyway.

It is used to iterate over the cpus of the bsd cpuset. From what I see
in netbsd's sys/sched.h, there is a cpuset_size() function which you
should be able to use there.

In the case of the function above (bsd2hwloc), you _already_ have a
cpuset, and can just use cpuset_size().
In the case of hwloc2bsd, you will need to create it before calling
cpuset_size() indeed.
