percpu: introduce bitmap metadata blocks
This patch introduces the bitmap metadata blocks and adds the skeleton
of the code that will be used to maintain these blocks. Each chunk's
bitmap is made up of full metadata blocks. These blocks maintain basic
metadata to help prevent scanning unnecssarily to update hints. Full
scanning methods are used for the skeleton and will be replaced in the
coming patches. A number of helper functions are added as well to do
conversion of pages to blocks and manage offsets. Comments will be
updated as the final version of each function is added.
There exists a relationship between PAGE_SIZE, PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE,
the region size, and unit_size. Every chunk's region (including offsets)
is page aligned at the beginning to preserve alignment. The end is
aligned to LCM(PAGE_SIZE, PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE) to ensure that the end
can fit with the populated page map which is by page and every metadata
block is fully accounted for. The unit_size is already page aligned, but
must also be aligned with PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE to ensure full metadata
blocks.
