Subject: percpu: repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space qualifier
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 17:05:09 +0100

The patch introduces __percpu_qual define and repurposes __percpu tag as a
named address space qualifier using the new define.

Arches can now conditionally define __percpu_qual as their named address
space qualifier for percpu variables.
