x86: add remapping percpu first chunk allocator 



Impact: add better first percpu allocation for NUMA

On NUMA, embedding allocator can't be used as different units can't be
made to fall in the correct NUMA nodes.  To use large page mapping,
each unit needs to be remapped.  However, percpu areas are usually
much smaller than large page size and unused space hurts a lot as the
number of cpus grow.  This allocator remaps large pages for each chunk
but gives back unused part to the bootmem allocator making the large
pages mapped twice.

This adds slightly to the TLB pressure but is much better than using
4k mappings while still being NUMA-friendly.

Ingo suggested that this would be the correct approach for NUMA.

/*

 * Remap allocator

 *

 * This allocator uses PMD page as unit.  A PMD page is allocated for

 * each cpu and each is remapped into vmalloc area using PMD mapping.

 * As PMD page is quite large, only part of it is used for the first

 * chunk.  Unused part is returned to the bootmem allocator.

 *

 * So, the PMD pages are mapped twice - once to the physical mapping

 * and to the vmalloc area for the first percpu chunk.  The double

 * mapping does add one more PMD TLB entry pressure but still is much

 * better than only using 4k mappings while still being NUMA friendly.
