Aneesh Kumar K.V 9832fb8783 mm/demotion: expose memory tier details via sysfs
Add /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/ where all memory tier related
details can be found.  All allocated memory tiers will be listed there as
/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/

The nodes which are part of a specific memory tier can be listed via
/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/nodes

A directory hierarchy looks like
:/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering$ tree memory_tier4/
memory_tier4/
├── nodes
├── subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory_tiering
└── uevent

:/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering$ cat memory_tier4/nodes
0,2

What: /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/
Date: August 2022
Contact: Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
Description: A collection of all the memory tiers allocated.
Individual memory tier details are contained in subdirectories
named by the abstract distance of the memory tier.
/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/
What: /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/
/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/nodes
Date: August 2022
Contact: Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
Description: Directory with details of a specific memory tier
This is the directory containing information about a particular
memory tier, memtierN, where N is derived based on abstract distance.
A smaller value of N implies a higher (faster) memory tier in the
hierarchy.
nodes: NUMA nodes that are part of this memory tier.
