[POWERPC] spufs: scheduler support for NUMA.
This patch adds NUMA support to the the spufs scheduler. The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/sched.c is greatly simplified, in an attempt to reduce complexity while adding support for NUMA scheduler domains. SPUs are allocated starting from the calling thread's node, moving to others as supported by current->cpus_allowed. Preemption is gone as it was buggy, but should be re-enabled in another patch when stable. The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c maintains idle lists on a per-node basis, and allows caller to specify which node(s) an SPU should be allocated from, while passing -1 tells spu_alloc() that any node is allowed. Since the patch removes the currently implemented preemptive scheduling, it is technically a regression, but practically all users have since migrated to this version, as it is part of the IBM SDK and the yellowdog distribution, so there is not much point holding it back while the new preemptive scheduling patch gets delayed further.
