I suppose it's a bit of a bikeshed issue, but I found a few of the
names a little confusing.  I'd prefer:

s/CPU_OVERLAP/CPU_INTERSECT
s/CPU_NAND/CPU_CLRSET (to mirror CPU_CLR) or CPU_SUBTRACT or CPU_DIFFERENCE

Possibly also s/CPU_OR/CPU_SETSET or CPU_UNION.  In general I found
the naming a bit confusing since it seemed that, though these are
declared as a set of cpus (cpuset_t) the operation names aren't
set-type operations, like UNION, INTERSECT, DIFFERENCE, etc.

It looks like the names have been around for a while, but I suspect
they don't see much use until this branch.

Thanks,
matthew
