    kernel - Update AMD topology detection, scheduler NUMA work (TR2)
    
    * Update AMD topology detection to use the correct cpuid.  It
      now properly detects the Threadripper 2990WX as having four nodes
      with 8 cores and 2 threads per core, per node.  It previously detected
      the chip as one node with 32 cores and 2 threads per core.
    
    * Report the basic detected topology without requiring bootverbose.
    
    * Record information about how much memory is attached to each node.
      We previously just assumed that it was symmetric.  This will be
      used by the scheduler.
    
    * Fix instability in the scheduler when running on a large number
      of cores.  Flag 0x08 (on by default) is needed to actively
      schedule overloaded threads onto other cores, but this operation
      was being executed on all cores simultaneously which throws the
      uload/ucount metrics into an unstable state, causing threads to
      bounce around longer the necessary.
    
      Fix by round-robining the operation based on something similar to
      sched_ticks % cpuid.
    
      This significantly improves heavy multi-tasking performance on systems
      with many cores.
    
    * Add memory-on-node weighting to the scheduler.  This detects asymetric
      NUMA configurations for situations where not all DIMM slots have been
      populated, and for CPUs which are naturally assymetric such as the
      2990WX which only has memory directly connected to two of its four
      nodes.
    
      This change will preferentially schedule threads onto nodes with
      greater amounts of attached memory under light loads, and dig into
      the less desirable cpu nodes as the load increases.
