[PATCH 8/8] RT: Use a 2-d bitmap for searching lowest-pri CPU

[Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>]

The current code use a linear algorithm which causes scaling issues
on larger SMP machines.  This patch replaces that algorithm with a
2-dimensional bitmap to reduce latencies in the wake-up path.

+ *  This code tracks the priority of each CPU so that global migration
+ *  decisions are easy to calculate.  Each CPU can be in a state as follows:
+ *
+ *                 (INVALID), IDLE, NORMAL, RT1, ... RT99
+ *
+ *  going from the lowest priority to the highest.  CPUs in the INVALID state
+ *  are not eligible for routing.  The system maintains this state with
+ *  a 2 dimensional bitmap (the first for priority class, the second for cpus
+ *  in that class).  Therefore a typical application without affinity
+ *  restrictions can find a suitable CPU with O(1) complexity (e.g. two bit
+ *  searches).  For tasks with affinity restrictions, the algorithm has a
+ *  worst case complexity of O(min(102, NR_CPUS)), though the scenario that
+ *  yields the worst case search is fairly contrived.
