    x86, UV: Improve BAU performance and error recovery · b8f7fb13
    Cliff Wickman authored
    
    
    - increase performance of the interrupt handler
    
    - release timed-out software acknowledge resources
    
    - recover from continuous-busy status due to a hardware issue
    
    - add a 'throttle' to keep a uvhub from sending more than a
      specified number of broadcasts concurrently (work around the hardware issue)
    
    - provide a 'nobau' boot command line option
    
    - rename 'pnode' and 'node' to 'uvhub' (the 'node' terminology
      is ambiguous)
    
    - add some new statistics about the scope of broadcasts, retries, the
      hardware issue and the 'throttle'
    
    - split off new function uv_bau_retry_msg() from
      uv_bau_process_message() per community coding style feedback.
    
    - simplify the argument list to uv_bau_process_message(), per
      community coding style feedback.
