Subject: [PATCH 10/10] workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs
and update sysfs interface accordingly.
* Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity
globally.
* Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain
node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id"
hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay.
* Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on
individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn
is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only
affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use.
After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left.
Removed.

+ workqueue.disable_numa
+ By default, all work items queued to unbound
+ workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're
+ issued on, which results in better behavior in
+ general. If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for
+ whatever reason, this option can be used. Note
