#define kernel_space_t(var)        \
    (typeof(*(var))    __kernel __force)


/* Weird cast keeps both GCC and sparse happy. */
#define SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR(__p, __offset) ({                              \
        __verify_pcpu_ptr((__p));                                       \
        RELOC_HIDE((typeof(*(kernel_space_t(__p))) __kernel __force *)(__p), (__offset)); \
})

#define per_cpu(var, cpu) \
        (*SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR(&(var), per_cpu_offset(cpu)));


No guarantee that will build. I should pull your tree and install
sparse (yeah, shame on me, I've never installed it).
