I'm prety sure we fixed that somehow.  But I forget how.

I wish you could remember :-)  I honestly don't think we did.
The DEFINE_PER_CPU() definition still looks the same, and the
way the .data.percpu section is layed out in the vmlinux.lds.S
is still the same as well.

Argh, can't remember, can't find it with archive grep.  I just have a
mental note that it got fixed somehow.  Perhaps by uprevving the compiler
version?  We certainly have a ton of uninitialised DEFINE_PER_CPUs in there
nowadays and people's kernels aren't crashing.

Rusty, do you recall if/how we fixed the
DEFINE_PER_CPU-needs-explicit-initialisation thing?
