[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH 09/18] powerpc/spufs: Limit size of gangs to avoid starvation due to reserved spus

At context creation, determine the number of available spus for general
scheduling to avoid creating a gang that can;t be placed by the scheduler.
Gangs require concurrent scheduling, so multiple spus have to be allocated
at the same time. Similarly, prevent the reservation of an spu, if it
would result in the inability to schedule an existing job. A new data
structure is introduced to keep track of active gangs. It is designed to
show the size of the largest active gang and is coded to handle the
dynamic addition and deletion of contexts within gangs. An array is
allocated that has an element for each spus in the system. As contexts
are added and removed, elements are incremented and decremented to show
the number of gangs of at least that size. For example, element 0
represents the number of active gangs with at least 1 context. element 1
is the number of gangs with at least 2 contexts, and so on. A high water
mark is kept to keep track of the largest gang.
