It would be very nice to finally merge this support during the next cycle,
so please take a look.

I think we need acks covering x86, ARM and ACPI.  Rafael took a look back
in November at v5 and was looking for x86 and ARM acks.  Whilst there is
no ARM specific code left we probably still need an Ack.  If anyone is
missing from the cc list, please add them.

Introduces a new type of NUMA node for cases where we want to represent
the access characteristics of a non CPU initiator of memory requests,
as these differ from all those for existing nodes containing CPUs and/or
memory.

These Generic Initiators are presented by the node access0 class in
sysfs in the same way as a CPU. It seems likely that there will be
usecases in which the best 'CPU' is desired and Generic Initiators
should be ignored.  The final few patches in this series introduced
access1 which is a new performance class in the sysfs node description
which presents only CPU to memory relationships.  Test cases for this
are described below.

The whole series has been applied as 5.10 material.

If anyone has concerns or objections, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks!
