On machines with multiple memory nodes, interleaving page allocations
across nodes allows for better utilization of each node's bandwidth.
Previous work by Gregory Price [1] introduced weighted interleave, which
allowed for pages to be allocated across NUMA nodes according to
user-set ratios.

Ideally, these weights should be proportional to their bandwidth, so
that under bandwidth pressure, each node uses its maximal efficient
bandwidth and prevents latency from increasing exponentially.

At the same time, we want these weights to be as small as possible.
Having ratios that involve large co-prime numbers like 7639:1345:7 leads
to awkward and inefficient allocations, since the node with weight 7
will remain mostly unused (and despite being proportional to bandwidth,
will not aid in relieving the pressure present in the other two nodes).

This patch introduces an auto-configuration for the interleave weights
that aims to balance the two goals of setting node weights to be
proportional to their bandwidths and keeping the weight values low.
This balance is controlled by a value max_node_weight, which defines the
maximum weight a single node can take.

Large max_node_weights generally lead to increased weight-bandwidth
proportionality, but can lead to underutilized nodes (think worst-case
scenario, which is 1:max_node_weight). Lower max_node_weights reduce the
effects of underutilized nodes, but may lead to improperly loaded
distributions.

This knob is exposed as a sysfs interface with a default value of 32.
Weights are re-calculated once at boottime and then every time the knob
is changed by the user, or when the ACPI table is updated.

+Description:	Weight limiting / scaling interface
+
+		The maximum interleave weight for a memory node. When it is
+		updated, any previous changes to interleave weights (i.e. via
+		the nodeN sysfs interfaces) are ignored, and new weights are
+		calculated using ACPI-reported bandwidths and scaled.
+
+		It is possible for weights to be greater than max_node_weight if
+		the nodeN interfaces are directly modified to be greater.
+
+		Minimum weight: 1
+		Default value: 32
+		Maximum weight: 255
+
+		Writing an empty string will set the value to be the default
+		(32). Writing a value outside the valid range  will return
+		EINVAL and will not re-trigger a weight scaling.
+
+		Setting max_node_weight to 1 is equivalent to unweighted
+		interleave.
