Well, I just had time to do it. All the patches look fine to me.
Very nice cleanup. The git tree is at the following URL.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git;a=shortlog;h=tj-percpu
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git tj-percpu

The head commit is 2697fbd5faf19c84c17441b1752bdcbdcfd1248c. James,
this patchset converts voyager to share generic x86 percpu code. Can
you please review whether the change looks good for voyager?

Thanks.
