Right, here's a new one.

dmaengine: make dma_channel_rebalance() NUMA aware
dma_channel_rebalance() currently distributes channels by processor ID.
These IDs often change with the BIOS, and the order isn't related to
the DMA channel list (related to PCI bus ids).
* On my SuperMicro dual E5 machine, first socket has processor IDs [0-7]
(and [16-23] for hyperthreads), second socket has [8-15]+[24-31]
=> channels are properly allocated to local CPUs.
* On Dells R720 with same processors, first socket has even processor IDs,
second socket has odd numbers
=> half the processors get channels on the remote socket, causing
cross-NUMA traffic and lower DMA performance.
Change nth_chan() to return the channel with min table_count and in the
NUMA node of the given CPU, if any. If none, the (non-local) channel with
min table_count is returned. nth_chan() is therefore renamed into min_chan()
since we don't iterate until the nth channel anymore. In practice, the
behavior is the same because first channels are taken first and are then
ignored because they got an additional reference.
The new code has a slightly higher complexity since we always scan the
entire list of channels for finding the minimal table_count (instead
of stopping after N chans), and because we check whether the CPU is in the
DMA device locality mask. Overall we still have time complexity =
number of chans x number of processors. This rebalance is rarely used,
so this won't hurt.
On the above SuperMicro machine, channels are still allocated the same.
On the Dells, there are no locality issue anymore (MEMCPY channel X goes
to processor X and to its hyperthread sibling).
