sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random perturbations

Traversing an entire package is not only expensive, it also leads to tasks
bouncing all over a partially idle and possible quite large package.  Fix
that up by assigning a 'buddy' CPU to try to motivate.  Each buddy may try
to motivate that one other CPU, if it's busy, tough, it may then try its
SMT sibling, but that's all this optimization is allowed to cost.

Sibling cache buddies are cross-wired to prevent bouncing.

4 socket 40 core + SMT Westmere box, single 30 sec tbench runs, higher is better:

Add ARM CPU topology [1/2]

** This is a combination of 12 commits.
** The first commit's message is:
Add ARM cpu topology definition

(Patch accepted by Russell for 3.1:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg131273.html)

The affinity between ARM processors is defined in the MPIDR register.
We can identify which processors are in the same cluster,
and which ones have performance interdependency. We can define the
cpu topology of ARM platform, that is then used by sched_mc and sched_smt.

The default state of sched_mc and sched_smt config is disable.
When enabled, the behavior of the scheduler can be modified with
sched_mc_power_savings and sched_smt_power_savings sysfs interfaces.

Changes since v4 :
*  Remove unnecessary parentheses and blank lines

Changes since v3 :
* Update the format of printk message
* Remove blank line

Changes since v2 :
* Update the commit message and some comments

Changes since v1 :
* Update the commit message
* Add read_cpuid_mpidr in arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h
* Modify header of arch/arm/kernel/topology.c
* Modify tests and manipulation of MPIDR's bitfields
* Modify the place and dependancy of the config
* Modify Noop functions

sched: Ensure cpu_power periodic update

With a lot of small tasks, the softirq sched is nearly never called

Add a next_update field which ensures a maximum update period when
there is short activity

If this_rq->nohz_balance_kick stay to 1, the ilb will no be triggered until it wakes up and performs a normal load_balance which will clear the nohz_balance_kick

Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels. By removing the plug from do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.

[ 4095.071197] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

The probably reason of such behaviour is an inode opened in READ mode
has been marked as 'dirty' somehow and written back by ext4_da_writepages.
Cause jinode == NULL it could lead to the kernel panic.

The patch prevents kernel panic and helps to investigate the problem
providing an inode number.
