Use the newly create bg_create and bg_join to actually probe / configure
groups of 4 modules in parallel. This currently has to be done in groups
of four due to the way 4-port modules are identified relative to single
port modules.
This provides a dramatic improvement in driver load time. When loading a
single TDM2400 with 24 FXS ports before this change:
# time modprobe wctdm24xxp vpmsupport=0
real 0m46.674s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.520s
And after this change:
# time modprobe wctdm24xxp vpmsupport=0
real 0m7.900s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.070s
Note that the boards themselves are still configured serially. Board
configuration can be parallelized once the assignment of board position
is moved out of the function that is run in parallel. Otherwise it could
be possible for board numbers to switch on repeated loads.
