* Now that %gs is pointing to the pda, it will then also point to the
    per cpu variables and the __get_cpu_var() and __put_cpu_var() macros
    can use:

        %gs:[&per_cpu_xxxx - __per_cpu_start]

    ... and since __per_cpu_start == 0 then:

        %gs:&per_cpu_var(xxx)
	
    becomes the optimized effective address.

    Since this is now a single instruction, we can remove the x86_64
    non-preemptible versions of x86_read_percpu() and x86_write_percpu().

  * Other cleanups in include/asm-x86/percpu.h
