Description
We've had temporary pools for the dedicated-cpus feature of Zones for a while now, and it makes sense to have psets reimplemented as these, since there's no need to have two separate subsystems for accomplishing the same tasks.  This would also make it possible to use both APIs at the same time, and have pools enabled at boot time, permanently.  This way, the dedicated-cpus feature of zones could also be usable by default, without having to explicitly enable pools.
The dedicated-cpus zones feature is not usable by default, because pools must be enabled.  It would be better if pools were on by default.  Breaking compatibility of scripts using the psets API could be avoided by also implementing psets as temporary pools.
