Subject: [PATCH 2/7] node: Add heterogenous memory performance

Heterogeneous memory systems provide memory nodes with latency
and bandwidth performance attributes that are different from other
nodes. Create an interface for the kernel to register these attributes
under the node that provides the memory. If the system provides this
information, applications can query the node attributes when deciding
which node to request memory.

When multiple memory initiators exist, accessing the same memory target
from each may not perform the same as the other. The highest performing
initiator to a given target is considered to be a local initiator for
that target. The kernel provides performance attributes only for the
local initiators.

The memory's compute node should be symlinked in sysfs as one of the
node's initiators.

The following example shows the new sysfs hierarchy for a node exporting
performance attributes:

  # tree /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/initiator_access
  /sys/devices/system/node/nodeY/initiator_access
  |-- read_bandwidth
  |-- read_latency
  |-- write_bandwidth
  `-- write_latency

The bandwidth is exported as MB/s and latency is reported in nanoseconds.
