 holes in pcpu_hot?

Hey! Sorry to be a bit late here but I just noticed this comment in your email
that I didn't before

I assume you mean we still have space for adding things into pcpu_hot? And if
so, where exactly are these holes? At some point when working on this series I
attempted adding a single unsigned long to pcpu_hot and the build failed as a
result of not having enough space. But if there's somewhere we can add
something else, that might actually help with a few of the issues in this
patch series
