bus_get_cpus() returns a specified set of CPUs for a device. It accepts
an enum for the second parameter that indicates the type of cpuset to
request. Currently two valus are supported:
- LOCAL_CPUS (on x86 this returns all the CPUs in the package closest to
the device when DEVICE_NUMA is enabled)
- INTR_CPUS (like LOCAL_CPUS but only returns 1 SMT thread for each core)
For systems that do not support NUMA (or if it is not enabled in the kernel
config), LOCAL_CPUS fails with EINVAL. INTR_CPUS is mapped to 'all_cpus'
by default. The idea is that INTR_CPUS should always return a valid set.
Device drivers which want to use per-CPU interrupts should start using
INTR_CPUS instead of simply assigning interrupts to all available CPUs.
In the future we may wish to add tunables to control the policy of
INTR_CPUS (e.g. should it be local-only or global, should it ignore
SMT threads or not).
The x86 nexus driver exposes the internal set of interrupt CPUs from the
the x86 interrupt code via INTR_CPUS.
The ACPI bus driver and PCI bridge drivers use _PXM to return a suitable
LOCAL_CPUS set when _PXM exists and DEVICE_NUMA is enabled. They also and
the global INTR_CPUS set from the nexus driver with the per-domain set from
_PXM to generate a local INTR_CPUS set for child devices.
