I was able to get this working with the crushmap in my last post! I now
have the intended behavior together with the change of primary affinity
on the slow hdds. Very happy, performance is excellent.

One thing was a little weird though, I had to manually change the weight
of each hostgroup so that they are in the same ballpark. If they were
too far apart ceph couldn't properly allocate 3 buckets for each pg,
some ended up being in state "remapped" or "degraded".

When I changed the weights (The crush rule selects 3 out of 3 hostgroups
anyway so weight isn't even a consideration there) to similar values
that problem went away.

Perhaps that is a bug?
