[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v9 00/11] Build ACPI Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT)

[Tao]

This series of patches will build Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT)
according to the command line. The ACPI HMAT describes the memory attributes,
such as memory side cache attributes and bandwidth and latency details,
related to the Memory Proximity Domain.
The software is expected to use HMAT information as hint for optimization.

In the linux kernel, the codes in drivers/acpi/hmat/hmat.c parse and report
the platform's HMAT tables.

Changelog:
v9:
    - change the CLI input way, make it more user firendly (Daniel Black)
    use latency=NUM[p|n|u]s and bandwidth=NUM[M|G|P](B/s) as input and drop
    the base-lat and base-bw input.
v8:
    - rebase to upstream
    - Add check if numa->numa_state is NULL in pxb_dev_realize_common
    - Use nb_nodes in spapr_populate_memory() (RESEND to fix) (Igor)
v7:
    - Defer 11-13 of patch v6, because the driver of _HMA hasn't been
      implemented in kernel driver
    - Drop the HMAT_LB_MEM_CACHE_LAST_LEVEL which is not used in
      ACPI 6.3 (Jonathan)
    - Add bit mask in flags of hmat-lb (Jonathan)
    - Add a marco to indicate the type is latency or bandwidth (Jonathan)
