bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.
Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity
instead of:
echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list
Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.
This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.
