As pointed out elsewhere, this should be static.

Very minor but that comment should now fit on fewer lines.

I posted a patch adding a comment on why set_pgdat_percpu_threshold() is
called. I do not believe it has been picked up by Andrew but it if is,
the patches will conflict. The resolution will be obvious but you may
need to respin this patch if the comment patch gets picked up in mmotm.

Otherwise, I see no problems.
