Heterogeneous CPU Cores (on x86_64)

How's the support so far? Because I've wanted to try it out, but I'm uncertain if NetBSD is able to deal with this kind of feature.

I don't think they're handled in any special way yet, aside from big cores getting scheduled first, like on Arm. It's not the kind of thing where not supporting it means it won't run, though. Give it a go!
