Introduce a basic skeleton that defines a cache entity for
a CPU. It consist of bookkeeping data which belong to a CPU
zone. A CPU-zone defines a virtual address range with its
fixed size.

This approach gives a possibility to map any address to a
particular CPU-zone it belongs to. Below is a high-level
description how it is used in alloc and free paths:

alloc-path:
 in-front-pre-fetch occurs if a cache is empty. A chunk is
 placed to a free-tree of this CPU. Finally this CPU cache
 is clipped in order to accomplish a request. A fresh VA
 resides in a busy-tree of specific CPU-zone it is bound
 to.

free-path:
 va->va_start is converted to a zone, so a lookup occurs in
 a bookkeeping zone it belongs to. Once it gets removed a VA
 is moved to a lazy-tree. It is freed after a TLB flushing.

A "cvz_size", that reflects a zone size, is set to ULONG_MAX
by this patch. The reason is we would like to follow an old
behavior until all dependent changes are in place.

There is no a functional change as a result of this patch.

Even if it is just temporary, I don't think adding these wrappers
make much sense.

Maybe replace NFBL with something longer and more descriptive?

But also in general it feels like this should be folded into a patch
doing real work.  As-is it doesn't look very useful.

If open-coded, it looks like:

spin_lock(&z->fbl[BUSY].lock);
fbl_lock(z, BUSY);

the reason of adding such helpers is to make the name shorter.

I split it for better understanding for review. But i can fold it.

Give the fbl structure a name and you can have a local variable for it,
which will make all this a lot more readable.  And then unless there is
a really good reason to iterate over this as an array just have three
of these structs embedded named free, busy and lazy.

OK. I can go that way.
