Hi Andi,

This is a series of patches based on your latest queue (as of the
other day, at least).

It includes:
- the most recent patch to compute the appropriate amount of percpu
space to allocate, using a separate reservation for modules where
needed.
- make the percpu sections page-aligned, so that percpu variables can
be page aligned if needed (which is used by gdt_page)
- page-align the gdt
- remove the pda and convert all pda usages into percpu variables
(percpu variables still use the %fs prefix mechanism the pda used)
- some improvements to asm-i386/percpu.h to make asm access to percpu
variables easy
- define per_cpu_offset in asm-i386/percpu.h, to match asm-generic/

Thanks,
J
