#define cnt32_to_63(cnt_lo)
({
	static DEFINE_PER_CPU(u32, __m_cnt_hi);

       union cnt32_to_63 __x;
	u32 *__m_cnt_hi_ptr = &get_cpu_var(__m_cnt_hi);

	__x.hi = *__m_cnt_hi_ptr;
	__x.lo = (cnt_lo);

	if (unlikely((s32)(__x.hi ^ __x.lo) < 0))
		*__m_cnt_hi_ptr = __x.hi = (__x.hi ^ 0x80000000) + (__x.hi >> 31);

	put_cpu_var(__m_cnt_hi);

	__x.val;
})

And I'm not quite sure why you had volatile in there.. but that should
be replaced by a barrier().

Also, we could probably use __get_cpu_var() and put BUG_ON(!in_atomic())
in there since if this stuff is per cpu, it'd better be atomic anyway -
you don't want to read a different cpu's counter than the one you're
using to upgrade.
