Brian,

This causes errors for CONFIG_SMP=n builds on ia64.  If you look
at arch/ia64/include/asm/percpu.h you'll see that the !SMP case has


#define PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES      __attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu")))

So we end up with section attributes of both ".data" and
".data.percpu" for every
DEFINE_PER_CPU used.  The compiler doesn't like that at all :-(


Perhaps PER_CPU_BASE_SECTION needs to be defined by <asm/percpu.h>
so ia64 can avoid the section conflict?

-Tony
