tile: nohz: warn if nohz_full uses hypervisor shared cores
The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices. It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor. Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well for the nohz_full cores in question. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>
