I don't think this is what you want here.

In the original version, usd is the percpu var using the current cpu. In
your version, usd is the percpu var using i instead of the current cpu.

I'll post my version of the patch shortly. I don't think keeping most of
the original version is a bad thing. We can just allocate it dynamically
instead.
