Rename topology_thread_cpumask() to topology_sibling_cpumask()
for more consistency with scheduler code.

Suppose that a system has two CPU sockets, three cores per socket,
that it does not support hyperthreading and that four hardware
queues are provided by a block driver. With the current algorithm
this will lead to the following assignment of CPU cores to hardware
queues:
HWQ 0: 0 1
HWQ 1: 2 3
HWQ 2: 4 5
HWQ 3: (none)
This patch changes the queue assignment into:
HWQ 0: 0 1
HWQ 1: 2
HWQ 2: 3 4
HWQ 3: 5
In other words, this patch has the following three effects:
- All four hardware queues are used instead of only three.
- CPU cores are spread more evenly over hardware queues. For the
above example the range of the number of CPU cores associated
with a single HWQ is reduced from [0..2] to [1..2].
- If the number of HWQ's is a multiple of the number of CPU sockets
it is now guaranteed that all CPU cores associated with a single
HWQ reside on the same CPU socket.

We currently use num_possible_cpus(), but that breaks on sparc64 where
the CPU ID space is discontig. Use nr_cpu_ids as the highest CPU ID
instead, so we don't end up reading from invalid memory.

None of the blk-mq files have an explanatory comment at the top
for what that particular file does. Add that and add appropriate
copyright notices as well.

Drivers currently have to figure this out on their own, and they
are missing information to do it properly. The ones that did
attempt to do it, do it wrong.
So just pass in the suggested node directly to the alloc
function.

Add a new blk_mq_tag_set structure that gets set up before we initialize
the queue. A single blk_mq_tag_set structure can be shared by multiple
queues.

Now that we are out of initial debug/bringup mode, remove
the verbose dump of the mapping table.
Provide the mapping table in sysfs, under the hardware queue
directory, in the cpu_list file.

Linux currently has two models for block devices:
- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.
- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
driver generally have to manage everything themselves.
With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.
The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.
This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.
blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:
- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
tags, to enable cache hot reuse.
- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
if a request happens to fail.
- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
desired location.
- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
to associate a request structure with some driver private
command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
and then any request handed to the driver will have the
required size of memory associated with it.
- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
increases bandwidth.
For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).
