PowerVM systems configured in shared processors mode have some unique
challenges. Some device-tree properties will be missing on a shared
processor. Hence some sched domains may not make sense for shared processor
systems.

Most shared processor systems are over-provisioned. Underlying PowerVM
Hypervisor would schedule at a Big Core granularity. The most recent power
processors support two almost independent cores. In a lightly loaded
condition, it helps the overall system performance if we pack to lesser
number of Big Cores.

Observation:
We are able to see Improvement in ebizzy throughput even with lesser
core utilization (almost half the core utilization) in low utilization
scenarios while still retaining throughput in mid and higher utilization
scenarios.
Note: The numbers are with Uncapped + no-noise case. In the Capped and/or
noise case, due to contention on the Cores, the numbers are expected to
further improve.

Note: The numbers included (powerpc/paravirt: Improve vcpu_is_preempted)

If there are shared processor LPARs, underlying Hypervisor can have more
virtual cores to handle than actual physical cores.

Starting with Power 9, a big core (aka SMT8 core) has 2 nearly
independent thread groups. On a shared processors LPARs, it helps to
pack threads to lesser number of cores so that the overall system
performance and utilization improves. PowerVM schedules at a big core
level. Hence packing to fewer cores helps.

For example: Lets says there are two 8-core Shared LPARs that are
actually sharing a 8 Core shared physical pool, each running 8 threads
each. Then Consolidating 8 threads to 4 cores on each LPAR would help
them to perform better. This is because each of the LPAR will get
100% time to run applications and there will no switching required by
the Hypervisor.

To achieve this, enable SD_ASYM_PACKING flag at CACHE, MC and DIE level
when the system is running in shared processor mode and has big cores.

Like L2-cache info, coregroup information which is used to determine MC
sched domains is only present on dedicated LPARs. i.e PowerVM doesn't
export coregroup information for shared processor LPARs. Hence disable
creating MC domains on shared LPAR Systems.

There are some variables that are only updated at boot time.
So add __ro_after_init attribute to such variables

PowerVM Hypervisor will schedule at a core granularity. However each big
core can have more than one thread_groups. For better utilization in
case of a shared processor, its preferable for the scheduler to pack to
the lowest core. However there is no benefit of moving a thread between
two thread groups of the same core.

Currently there are four Powerpc specific sched topologies.  These are
all statically defined.  However not all these topologies are used by
all Powerpc systems.

To avoid unnecessary degenerations by the scheduler, masks and flags
are compared. However if the sched topologies are build dynamically then
the code is simpler and there are greater chances of avoiding
degenerations.

Note:
Even X86 builds its sched topologies dynamically and proposed changes
are very similar to the way X86 is building its topologies.
