Vincent Guittot 143e1e28cb sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition
We replace the old way to configure the scheduler topology with a new method
which enables a platform to declare additionnal level (if needed).

We still have a default topology table definition that can be used by platform
that don't want more level than the SMT, MC, CPU and NUMA ones. This table can
be overwritten by an arch which either wants to add new level where a load
balance make sense like BOOK or powergating level or wants to change the flags
configuration of some levels.

For each level, we need a function pointer that returns cpumask for each cpu,
a function pointer that returns the flags for the level and a name. Only flags
that describe topology, can be set by an architecture. The current topology
flags are:

 SD_SHARE_CPUPOWER
 SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES
 SD_NUMA
 SD_ASYM_PACKING

Then, each level must be a subset on the next one. The build sequence of the
sched_domain will take care of removing useless levels like those with 1 CPU
and those with the same CPU span and no more relevant information for
load balancing than its children.
