This patch set provides functionality that will help to improve the
locality of the async_schedule calls used to provide deferred
initialization.
This patch set originally started out with me focused on just the one call
to async_schedule_domain in the nvdimm tree that was being used to
defer the device_add call however after doing some digging I realized the
scope of this was much broader than I had originally planned. As such I
went through and reworked the underlying infrastructure down to replacing
the queue_work call itself with a function of my own and opted to try and
provide a NUMA aware solution that would work for a broader audience.
RFC->v1:
Dropped nvdimm patch to submit later.
It relies on code in libnvdimm development tree.
Simplified queue_work_near to just convert node into a CPU.
Split up drivers core and PM core patches.
v1->v2:
Renamed queue_work_near to queue_work_node
Added WARN_ON_ONCE if we use queue_work_node with per-cpu workqueue
v2->v3:
Added Acked-by for queue_work_node patch
Continued rename from _near to _node to be consistent with queue_work_node
Renamed async_schedule_near_domain to async_schedule_node_domain
Renamed async_schedule_near to async_schedule_node
Added kerneldoc for new async_schedule_XXX functions
Updated patch description for patch 4 to include data on potential gains
v3->v4
Added patch to consolidate use of need_parent_lock
Make asynchronous driver probing explicit about use of drvdata
v4->v5
Added patch to move async_synchronize_full to address deadlock
Added bit async_probe to act as mutex for probe/remove calls
Added back nvdimm patch as code it relies on is now in Linus's tree
Incorporated review comments on parent & device locking consolidation
Rebased on latest linux-next

workqueue: Provide queue_work_node to queue work near a given NUMA node
async: Add support for queueing on specific NUMA node
device core: Consolidate locking and unlocking of parent and device
driver core: Move async_synchronize_full call
driver core: Establish clear order of operations for deferred probe and
remove
