    memory tier: create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info · cf93be18
    Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang authored
    The current implementation treats emulated memory devices, such as CXL1.1
    type3 memory, as normal DRAM when they are emulated as normal memory
    (E820_TYPE_RAM).  However, these emulated devices have different
    characteristics than traditional DRAM, making it important to distinguish
    them.  Thus, we modify the tiered memory initialization process to
    introduce a delay specifically for CPUless NUMA nodes.  This delay ensures
    that the memory tier initialization for these nodes is deferred until HMAT
    information is obtained during the boot process.  Finally, demotion tables
    are recalculated at the end.
    
    * late_initcall(memory_tier_late_init);
      Some device drivers may have initialized memory tiers between
      `memory_tier_init()` and `memory_tier_late_init()`, potentially bringing
      online memory nodes and configuring memory tiers.  They should be
      excluded in the late init.
    
    * Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
      There is a scenario where a CPUless node does not provide HMAT
      information.  If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using the
      default DRAM tier.
    
    * Introduce another new lock `default_dram_perf_lock` for adist
      calculation In the current implementation, iterating through CPUlist
      nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`.  However,
      `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
      leading to a potential deadlock.  Therefore, we propose introducing a
      standalone `default_dram_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf_*`. 
      This approach not only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large
      lock simultaneously.
    
    * Upgrade `set_node_memory_tier` to support additional cases, including
      default DRAM, late CPUless, and hot-plugged initializations.  To cover
      hot-plugged memory nodes, `mt_calc_adistance()` and
      `mt_find_alloc_memory_type()` are moved into `set_node_memory_tier()` to
      handle cases where memtype is not initialized and where HMAT information
      is available.
    
    * Introduce `default_memory_types` for those memory types that are not
      initialized by device drivers.  Because late initialized memory and
      default DRAM memory need to be managed, a default memory type is created
      for storing all memory types that are not initialized by device drivers
      and as a fallback.
