This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

On big POWER7 boxes we see large amounts of CPU time in system
processes like workqueue and watchdog kernel threads.
We currently rebalance the entire machine each time a task goes
idle and this is very expensive on large machines. Disable newidle
balancing at the node level and rely on the scheduler tick to
rebalance across nodes.

The largest POWER7 boxes have 32 nodes. SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN groups
nodes into chunks of 16 and adds a global balancing domain
(SD_ALLNODES) above it.
If we bump SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN to 32, then we avoid this extra
level of balancing on our largest boxes.

When chasing a performance issue on ppc64, I noticed tasks
communicating via a pipe would often end up on different nodes.
It turns out SD_WAKE_AFFINE is not set in our node defition. Commit
9fcd18c9e6 (sched: re-tune balancing) enabled SD_WAKE_AFFINE
in the node definition for x86 and we need a similar change for
ppc64.
I used lmbench lat_ctx and perf bench pipe to verify this fix. Each
benchmark was run 10 times and the average taken.
lmbench lat_ctx:
before: 66565 ops/sec
after: 204700 ops/sec
3.1x faster
perf bench pipe:
before: 5.6570 usecs
after: 1.3470 usecs
4.2x faster

The header asm/hvcall.h was previously included indirectly via
smp.h. On non-SMP systems, however, these declarations are excluded
and the build breaks. This is easily fixed by including asm/hvcall.h
directly.
The VPHN feature is only meaningful on NUMA systems that implement
the SPLPAR option, so exclude the VPHN code on systems without
SPLPAR enabled.
Also, expose unmap_cpu_from_node() on systems with SPLPAR enabled,
even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled.
Lastly, map_cpu_to_node() is now needed by VPHN to manipulate the
node masks after boot time, so remove the __cpuinit annotation to
fix a section mismatch.

Form 1 affinity allows multiple entries in ibm,associativity-reference-points
which represent affinity domains in decreasing order of importance. The
Linux concept of a node is always the first entry, but using the other
values as an input to node_distance() allows the memory allocator to make
better decisions on which node to go first when local memory has been
exhausted.
We keep things simple and create an array indexed by NUMA node, capped at
4 entries. Each time we lookup an associativity property we initialise
the array which is overkill, but since we should only hit this path during
boot it didn't seem worth adding a per node valid bit.

I noticed /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode was 0 on a ppc64 NUMA box. It gets
enabled via this:
/*
* If another node is sufficiently far away then it is better
* to reclaim pages in a zone before going off node.
*/
if (distance > RECLAIM_DISTANCE)
zone_reclaim_mode = 1;
Since we use the default value of 20 for REMOTE_DISTANCE and 20 for
RECLAIM_DISTANCE it never kicks in.
The local to remote bandwidth ratios can be quite large on System p
machines so it makes sense for us to reclaim clean pagecache locally before
going off node.
The patch below sets a smaller value for RECLAIM_DISTANCE and thus enables
zone reclaim.

Peter pointed out that this is better done via newidle_idx,
not via LB_BIAS, newidle balancing should look for where
there is load _now_, not where there was load 2 ticks ago.
Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies
means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions)
This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.

The problem with wake_idle() is that is doesn't respect things like
cpu_power, which means it doesn't deal well with SMT nor the recent
RT interaction.
To cure this, it needs to do what sched_balance_self() does, which
leads to the possibility of merging select_task_rq_fair() and
sched_balance_self().
Modify sched_balance_self() to:
- update_shares() when walking up the domain tree,
(it only called it for the top domain, but it should
have done this anyway), which allows us to remove
this ugly bit from try_to_wake_up().
- do wake_affine() on the smallest domain that contains
both this (the waking) and the prev (the wakee) cpu for
WAKE invocations.
Then use the top-down balance steps it had to replace wake_idle().
This leads to the dissapearance of SD_WAKE_BALANCE and
SD_WAKE_IDLE_FAR, with SD_WAKE_IDLE replaced with SD_BALANCE_WAKE.
SD_WAKE_AFFINE needs SD_BALANCE_WAKE to be effective.
Touch all topology bits to replace the old with new SD flags --
platforms might need re-tuning, enabling SD_BALANCE_WAKE
conditionally on a NUMA distance seems like a good additional
feature, magny-core and small nehalem systems would want this
enabled, systems with slow interconnects would not.
