We still need some #ifdef or we also must also delete them around "struct list_head list"
in include/linux/percpu_counter.h and grow struct percpu_counter.
lib/percpu_counter.c: In function 'percpu_counter_hotcpu_callback':
lib/percpu_counter.c:137: error: 'struct percpu_counter' has no member named 'list'
lib/percpu_counter.c:137: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '__mptr'

Thank you Andrew
[PATCH] percpu_counter: FBC_BATCH should be a variable
For NR_CPUS >= 16 values, FBC_BATCH is 2*NR_CPUS
Considering more and more distros are using high NR_CPUS values,
it makes sense to use a more sensible value for FBC_BATCH, and
get rid of NR_CPUS.
A sensible value is 2*num_online_cpus(), with a minimum value of 32
(This minimum value helps branch prediction in __percpu_counter_add())
We already have a hotcpu notifier, so we can adjust FBC_BATCH dynamically.
We rename FBC_BATCH to percpu_counter_batch since its not a constant
anymore.
