 /*
  * Mapping of threads to cores
+ *
+ * Note: This implementation is limited to a power of 2 number of
+ * threads per core and the same number for each core in the system
+ * (though it would work if some processors had less threads as long
+ * as the CPU numbers are still allocated, just not brought offline).
+ *
+ * However, the API allows for a different implementation in the future
+ * if needed, as long as you only use the functions and not the variables
+ * directly.
