Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Use the new percpu interface for shared data -- version 2


Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus, has a
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute. Move all this data to the new per cpu
shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.

This will seperate  the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other cpus
from the local only percpu data.
