So personally I'd prefer to have this look like:

struct lru_vecs {
	struct local_lock lock;
	struct pagevec add;
	struct pagevec rotate;
	struct pagevec deact_file;
	struct pagevec deact;
	struct pagevec lazyfree;
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
	struct pagevec active;
#endif
};

DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct lru_pvec, lru_pvec);

or something, but I realize that is a lot of churn (although highly
automated), so I'll leave that to the mm folks.
