Well, I just had time to do it.  All the patches look fine to me.
Very nice cleanup.  The git tree is at the following URL.

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git;a=shortlog;h=tj-percpu
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git tj-percpu

The head commit is 2697fbd5faf19c84c17441b1752bdcbdcfd1248c.  James,
this patchset converts voyager to share generic x86 percpu code.  Can
you please review whether the change looks good for voyager?

Thanks.
