Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3] percpu/x86: [RFH] Enable strict percpu checks via named AS qualifiers

This patch declares percpu variables in __seg_gs/__seg_fs named AS
and keeps them named AS qualified until they are dereferenced with
percpu accessor. This approach enables various compiler check
for corss-namespace variable assignments.

RFH: The patch hijacks __percpu tag and repurposes it as a named
address space qualifier. While this works surprisingly well in
this RFC patchset, I would really appreciate some help on how
to rewrite this hack into some "production ready" code.
