Just for kicks, can one of you big NUMA owners try running the sigreturn
tests (tools/testing/selftests/x86/sigreturn_{32,64}) on one of these
monsters with that patch applied, preferably on every cpu?

Something like:

for i in `seq 1 64`; do (taskset -c $i ./sigreturn_32 && taskset -c $i
./sigreturn_64) >/dev/null || echo FAIL; done

I don't see why it would fail, but if the percpu conversion was botched,
then these tests are likely to blow up.
