Currently, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y is hardcoded into the
kvm-test-1-rcu.sh script and CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y is mentioned in each
and every configs file. This commit creates a CFcommon file for these
two Kconfig parameters, and modifies kvm-test-1-rcu.sh to copy this new
file into the .config file during the build. This change will allow
these scripts to operate on torture types other than just rcutorture.

This commit adds a "(!)" flag after the number of CPUs required by a

Running the standard set of rcutorture tests on 24 CPUs results in
the following sub-optimal schedule:
----start batch----
TREE07 16
----start batch----
TREE08 16
SRCU-P 8
----start batch----
TREE01 8
TREE02 8
TREE03 8
----start batch----
TREE04 8
TREE05 8
TREE06 8
----start batch----
SRCU-N 4
TINY01 1
TINY02 1
TREE09 1
If one of the eight-CPU runs were to be moved into the first batch,
the test suite would complete in four batches rather than five.
This commit therefore uses a greedy algorithm to re-order the test
entries so that the sequential batching will produce an optimal schedule
in this case:
----start batch----
TREE07 16
SRCU-P 8
----start batch----
TREE08 16
TREE01 8
----start batch----
TREE02 8
TREE03 8

----start batch----
TREE05 8
TREE06 8
SRCU-N 4
TINY01 1
TINY02 1

Please note that this is still not an optimal bin-packing algorithm,
however, it does produce optimal solutions for most common scenarios.

The rcutorture tests run by default range from using one CPU to using
sixteen of them. Therefore, rcutorture testing could be sped up
significantly simply by running the kernels in parallel. Building
them in parallel is not all that helpful: "make -j" is usually a
better bet. So this commit takes a new "--cpus" argument that
specifies how many CPUs rcutorture is permitted to use for its
parallel runs. The default of zero does sequential runs as before.
The bin-packing is minimal, and will be grossly suboptimal for
some configurations. However, powers of two work reasonably well.

Parallel rcutorture runs is valuable on large systems, but it is not a
good idea to do (say) five builds in parallel if each build believes it
has the whole system at its disposal, especially if the system is shared.
It is also bad to restrict the build to (say) a single CPU just because
the corresponding rcutorture run uses only a single CPU. This commit
therefore adds a kvm-test-1-rcu.sh ability to pause after the build
completes, which will allow kvm.sh to do a number of builds serially
(with each build thus having the full system at its disposal), then
allow the rcutorture runs to proceed in parallel.

ktest: Add special variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}

For those cases that it takes several tries to hit a bug, it would be
useful for ktest.pl to try a test multiple times before it considers
the test as a pass. To accomplish this, BISECT_TRIES ktest config
option has been added. It is default to one, as most of the time a
bisect only needs to try a test once. But the user can now up this
to make ktest run a given test multiple times. The first failure
that is detected will set a bisect bad. It only repeats on success.
Note, as with all race bugs, there's no guarantee that if it succeeds,
it is really a good bisect. But it helps in case the bug is somewhat
reliable.
You can set BISECT_TRIES to zero, and all tests will be considered
good, unless you also set BISECT_MANUAL.

With the added variable ${KERNEL_VERSION}, it is useful to be
able to use parts of it for other variables.
For example, if you want to create a warnings file for each major
kernel version to test sub versions against you can create
your warnings file with like this:
WARNINGS_FILE = warnings-file-${KERNEL_VERSION}
But this may add 3.8.12 or something, and we want all 3.8.* to
use the same file, and 3.10.* to use another file, and so on.
With the eval command we can, by adding:
WARNINGS_FILE =~ s/(-file-\d+\.\d+).*/$1/
Which will chop off the extra characters after the 3.8.

Add a special variable that can be used in other variables called
