This patchset simplifies the code that arches need to maintain to support
per cpu functionality. Most of the code is moved into arch independent
code. Only a minimal set of definitions is kept for each arch.
The patch also unifies the x86 arch so that there is only a single
asm-x86/percpu.h
V1->V2:
- Add support for specifying attributes for per cpu declarations (preserves
IA64 model(small) attribute).
- Drop first patch that removes the model(small) attribute for IA64
- Missing #endif in powerpc generic config / Wrong Kconfig
- Follow Randy's suggestions on how to do the Kconfig settings
- Rediff against 2.6.24-rc3-mm2
