Subject: Re: [patch 3/3] x86_64: Make the x86_32 percpu operations usable on
 x86_64

The following fix is needed for UP (did not have time to do proper 
testing, some people will get mad at me if I do not get into a vacation 
mode now, be back on the 13th of December):

Fix UP setup

The __per_cpu_start offset is still needed in a UP configuration. There we 
do not relocate the percpu area. So we must subtract __per_cpu_start in
setup64.c. It will be zero if the percpu area is relocated.
