Subject: [PATCH] unbreak alpha percpu

asm-generic/percpu.h is *NOT* included by every asm/percpu.h out there.
Namely, alpha can't use it since it needs the var name in
SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR - &per_cpu_var(var) won't do at all.  So adding stuff
to asm-generic/percpu.h and expecting it to be picked by everything
is not going to work.

Frankly, I'd rather have SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() calling conventions changed,
but for now the patch below will do.
