[RFC][PATCH 2/5] lib: cpu_rmap: CPU affinity reverse-mapping

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Nov 19 2010 - 13:44:59 EST


When initiating I/O on a multiqueue and multi-IRQ device, we may want
to select a queue for which the response will be handled on the same
or a nearby CPU. This requires a reverse-map of IRQ affinity. Add
library functions to support a generic reverse-mapping from CPUs to
objects with affinity and the specific case where the objects are
IRQs.
