I get a link time error:

ld: section .data..percpu [0000000001ac2000 -> 0000000001ad48ff] 
overlaps section .vvar [0000000001ac0000 -> 0000000001b0083f]

which I consider better than runtime memory corruption :)

I could add a BUILD_BUG_ON() that tries to catch this earlier in the 
compile process.

Re: Fixing the build for NR_CPUS > 64

How about something along the lines of the following:
