Hm, could we get rid of the obsolete percpu APIs once and for all? The fact that 
they are still around cause the leakage into new code to begin with.

Can do i guess - we can cross-test most architectures in -tip and via -next there 
will be more testing. No need to spread this out via a zillion maintainer trees i 
think.
