I'm sure you mean l4_sched_cpu_set(). Generally, a CPU set describes a set of CPUs. Using a flat bitmap to describe all CPUs in a system might make this bitmap quite large. And since most of the time this bitmap is only sparsely populated it is also not very space efficient. One alternative to that is to describe the bitmap using an offset, a granularity and the actual bitmap. The offset describes where 'map' starts and granularity says how many bits a represented by a single bit in 'map'. So for example (9, 1, 10) point to CPUs 11, 12, 15 and 16.
