Use boot_cpu_alloc to allocate a cpu area chunk that is needed to store the
statically declared per cpu data and then point the per_cpu_offset pointers
to the cpu area.

The per cpu area is moved to a ZERO offset using some linker scripting.
All per cpu variable addresses become true offsets into a cpu area to their
respective variable. The addresses of per cpu variables can be treated
like the offsets that are returned by CPU_ALLOC.
