[PATCH 07/28] cleanups to help using per-cpu variables from asm

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Sat Apr 14 2007 - 17:22:20 EST


This patch does a few small cleanups:
- use PER_CPU_NAME to generate the names of per-cpu variables
- use lea to add the per_cpu offset in PER_CPU(), because it doesn't
affect condition flags
- add PER_CPU_VAR which allows direct access to pre-cpu variables
with the %fs: prefix on SMP.
