Commit Message

Tomas Glozar Nov. 23, 2023, 7:24 a.m. UTC
From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com>

Move out code from CpuList class in rteval.systopology into a separate
module named rteval.cpulist_utils and avoid wrapping CPU lists in
a CpuList object.

Almost all uses of CpuList in the code either use the static methods of
the class or its constructor to filter online CPUs by running
CpuList(...).cpulist. The only exception to this are NumaNode and
SimNumaNode classes in systopology; these store a CpuList object,
however their .getcpulist() method extracts the list out. Thus,
the class is completely unnecessary.

Note: A better name for the module would be cpulist, consistent with the
original name of the class, but this name is already used for variables
throughout the code, hence cpulist_utils is used instead.
