Implement the infrastructure for a simple bitmap based allocator, which
will replace the x86 vector allocator. It's in the core code as other
architectures might be able to reuse/extend it. For now it only implements
allocations for single CPUs, but it's simple to add multi CPU allocation
support if required.
The concept is rather simple:
Global information:
system_vector bitmap
global accounting
PerCPU information:
allocation bitmap
managed allocation bitmap
local accounting
The system vector bitmap is used to exclude vectors system wide from the
allocation space.
The allocation bitmap is used to keep track of per cpu used vectors.
The managed allocation bitmap is used to reserve vectors for managed
interrupts.
When a regular (non managed) interrupt allocation happens then the
following rule applies:
tmpmap = system_map | alloc_map | managed_map
find_zero_bit(tmpmap)
Oring the bitmaps together gives the real available space. The same rule
applies for reserving a managed interrupt vector. But contrary to the
regular interrupts the reservation only marks the bit in the managed map
and therefor excludes it from the regular allocations. The managed map is
only cleaned out when the a managed interrupt is completely released and it
stays alive accross CPU offline/online operations.
For managed interrupt allocations the rule is:
tmpmap = managed_map & ~alloc_map
find_first_bit(tmpmap)
This returns the first bit which is in the managed map, but not yet
allocated in the allocation map. The allocation marks it in the allocation
map and hands it back to the caller for use.
The rest of the code are helper functions to handle the various
requirements and the accounting which are necessary to replace the x86
vector allocation code. The result is a single patch as the evolution of
this infrastructure cannot be represented in bits and pieces.
