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.

Everyone defines it, and only one person uses it
(arch/mips/sgi-ip27/ip27-nmi.c). So just open code it there.

Impact: New API
The old topology_core_siblings() and topology_thread_siblings() return
a cpumask_t; these new ones return a (const) struct cpumask *.

Impact: New APIs
The old node_to_cpumask/node_to_pcibus returned a cpumask_t: these
return a pointer to a struct cpumask. Part of removing cpumasks from
the stack.
(Also replaces powerpc internal uses of node_to_cpumask).

Mathieu Desnoyers reported this build failure on powerpc:
kernel/sched.c: In function 'sd_init_NODE':
kernel/sched.c:7319: error: non-static initialization of a flexible array member
kernel/sched.c:7319: error: (near initialization for '(anonymous)')
this happens because .span changed to cpumask_var_t, hence
the static CPU_MASK_NONE initializers in the SD_*_INIT
templates are not type-correct anymore.
Remove them, as they default to empty anyway.
Also remove them from IA64, MIPS and SH.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
