The answers to both of these questions are in the comments in src/kernel/toppush.c, in function push_at(). I found them grepping src/*/*.[ch] for scanf (the C function you'd use to read up these files) and looking for topology-related filenames...

Thanks! The algorithm is described just below in that file too.
