+ * The timer migration mechanism is built on a hierarchy of groups. The
+ * lowest level group contains CPUs, the next level groups of CPU groups
+ * and so forth. The CPU groups are kept per node so for the normal case
+ * lock contention won't happen accross nodes. Depending on the number of
+ * CPUs per node even the next level might be kept as groups of CPU groups
+ * per node and only the levels above cross the node topology.
+ *
+ * Example topology for a two node system with 24 CPUs each.
+ *
+ * LVL 2			[GRP2:0]
+ *			      GRP1:0 = GRP1:M
+ *
+ * LVL 1            [GRP1:0]		         [GRP1:1]
+ *	         GRP0:0 - GRP0:2	      GRP0:3 - GRP0:5
+ *
+ * LVL 0  [GRP0:0]  [GRP0:1]  [GRP0:2]  [GRP0:3]  [GRP0:4]  [GRP0:5]
+ * CPUS     0-7       8-15     16-23     24-31	   32-39     40-47
+ *
+ * The groups hold a timer queue of events sorted by expiry time. These
+ * queues are updated when CPUs go in idle. When they come out of idle
+ * ignore bit of events is set.
+ *
+ * Each group has a designated migrator CPU/group as long as a CPU/group is
+ * active in the group. This designated role is necessary to avoid that all
+ * active CPUs in a group try to migrate expired timers from other cpus,
+ * which would result in massive lock bouncing.
+ *
+ * When a CPU is awake, it checks in it's own timer tick the group
+ * hierarchy up to the point where it is assigned the migrator role or if
+ * no CPU is active, it also checks the groups where no migrator is set
+ * (TMIGR_NONE).
+ *
+ * If it finds expired timers in one of the group queues it pulls them over
+ * from the idle CPU and runs the timer function. After that it updates the
+ * group and the parent groups if required.
+ *
+ * CPUs which go idle arm their CPU local timer hardware for the next local
+ * (pinned) timer event. If the next migrateable timer expires after the
+ * next local timer or the CPU has no migrateable timer pending then the
+ * CPU does not queue an event in the LVL0 group. If the next migrateable
+ * timer expires before the next local timer then the CPU queues that timer
+ * in the LVL0 group. In both cases the CPU marks itself idle in the LVL0
+ * group.
+ *
+ * If the CPU is the migrator of the group then it delegates that role to
+ * the next active CPU in the group or sets migrator to TMIGR_NONE when
+ * there is no active CPU in the group. This delegation needs to be
+ * propagated up the hierarchy so hand over from other leaves can happen at
+ * all hierarchy levels w/o doing a search.
+ *
+ * When the last CPU in the system goes idle, then it drops all migrator
+ * duties up to the top level of the hierarchy (LVL2 in the example). It
+ * then has to make sure, that it arms it's own local hardware timer for
+ * the earliest event in the system.
+ *
+ * Lifetime rules:
+ *
+ * The groups are built up at init time or when CPUs come online. They are
+ * not destroyed when a group becomes empty due to offlining. The group
+ * just won't participate in the hierachary management anymore. Destroying
+ * groups would result in interesting race conditions which would just make
+ * the whole mechanism slow and complex.
+ *
+ * Locking rules:
+ *
+ * For setting up new groups and handling events it's required to lock both
+ * child and parent group. The lock odering is always bottom up. This also
+ * includes the per CPU locks in struct tmigr_cpu. For updating migrator
+ * and active CPU/group information atomic_cmpxchg() is used instead and
+ * only per CPU tmigr_cpu->lock is held.
+ *
+ * During setup of groups tmigr_level_list is required. It is protected by
+ * tmigr_mutex.
