Clever! As in this_cpu_read() in include/linux/percpu-defs.h.  Could
be its own patch before this, but it's fine.

What does the `P` do here?
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Simple-Constraints.html#Simple-Constraints
says can be machine dependent integral literal in a certain range.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Machine-Constraints.html#Machine-Constraints
doesn't document `P` for x86 though...
