The struct hfi1_affinity is not used anymore.
We use the struct hfi1_affinity_node and hfi1_affinity_node_list
instead.

Existing locking scheme in affinity.c file using the
&node_affinity.lock spinlock is not very elegant.
We acquire the lock to get hfi1_affinity_node entry,
unlock, and then use the entry without the lock held.
With more functions being added, which access and
modify the entries, this can lead to race conditions.
This patch makes this locking scheme more consistent.
It changes the spinlock to mutex. Since all the code
is executed in a user process context there is no need
for a spinlock. This also allows to keep the lock
not only while we look up for the node affinity entry,
but over the whole section where the entry is being used.

When performing process affinity recommendations for MPI ranks, the current
algorithm doesn't take into account multiple HFI units. Also, real
cores and HT cores are not distinguished from one another. Therefore,
all HT cores are recommended to be assigned first within the local NUMA
node before recommending the assignments of cores in other NUMA nodes.
It's ideal to assign all real cores across all NUMA nodes first, then all
HT 1 cores, then all HT 2 cores, and so on to balance CPU workload. CPU
cores in other NUMA nodes could be running interrupt handlers, and this is
not taken into account.
To balance the CPU workload for user processes, the following
recommendation algorithm is used:
For each user process that is opening a context on HFI Y:
a) If all cores are assigned to user processes, start assignments all
over from the first core
b) Assign real cores first, then HT cores (First set of HT cores on
all physical cores, then second set of HT cores, and, so on) in the
following order:
1. Same NUMA node as HFI Y and not running an IRQ handler
2. Same NUMA node as HFI Y and running an IRQ handler
3. Different NUMA node to HFI Y and not running an IRQ handler
4. Different NUMA node to HFI Y and running an IRQ handler
c) Mark core as assigned in the global affinity structure. As user
processes are done, remove core assignments from global affinity
structure.
This implementation allows an arbitrary number of HT cores and provides
support for multiple HFIs.
This is being included in the kernel rather than user space due to the
fact that user space has no way of knowing the CPU recommendations for
contexts running as part of other jobs.

Kernel receive queues oversubscribe CPU cores on multi-HFI systems.
To prevent this, the kernel receive queues are separated onto
different cores, and the SDMA engine interrupts are constrained to
a lesser number of cores.
hfi1s_on_numa_node*krcvqs is the number of CPU cores that are
reserved for kernel receive queues for all HFIs. Each HFI initializes
its kernel receive queues to one of the reserved CPU cores. If there
ends up being 0 CPU cores leftover for SDMA engines, use the same
CPU cores as receive contexts.
In addition, general and control contexts are assigned to their own
CPU core, however, both types of contexts tend to have low traffic.
To save CPU cores, collapse general and control contexts to one CPU
core for all HFI units. This change prevents SDMA engine interrupts
from wrapping around general contexts.

When HFI units get initialized, they each use their own mask copy for
affinity assignments. On a multi-HFI system, affinity assignments
overbook CPU cores as each HFI doesn't have knowledge of affinity
assignments for other HFI units. Therefore, some CPU cores are never
used for interrupt handlers in systems with high number of CPU cores
per NUMA node.
For multi-HFI systems, SDMA engine interrupt assignments start all over
from the first CPU in the local NUMA node after the first HFI
initialization. This change allows assignments to continue where the
last HFI unit left off.
Add global structure for affinity assignments for multiple HFIs to share
affinity mask.

The TODO list for the hfi1 driver was completed during 4.6. In addition
other objections raised (which are far beyond what was in the TODO list)
have been addressed as well. It is now time to remove the driver from
staging and into the drivers/infiniband sub-tree.
