Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses


  * Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
    used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
    before there are per_cpu areas allocated.

  * Small change in kernel/sched.c to remove another 512 bytes from the stack.

Based on:
